Dear Theophilus: Out of Silence

After 400 years of prophetic silence, God speaks again—not through kings or temple officials, but through an aging priest filled with the Holy Spirit. Zechariah’s song isn’t just a celebration of his son John’s birth, but a Spirit-breathed proclamation of God’s mercy breaking into history. In a world weary with oppression, unmet promises, and spiritual fatigue, this moment reminds us: God’s delays are not His denials. He sees, He hears, and He acts. This message explores how Zechariah’s personal transformation mirrors the dawning of hope for all people.
