The sermon is from Luke 1:57- 66– “His Name is John”.  “… immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, …” – Luke 1:64

Disbelieving the Word of God has consequences. For Zechariah, that meant being silent and unable to speak (probably for nine months) during Elizabeth’s pregnancy (See Luke 1:18-25). He did not believe God’s message through the angel Gabriel. So, God disciplined him in a unique way. He could not speak; he could only communicate by means of signs and a writing tablet until he obeyed the Word of God and named his son John. When he did obey this command, as our passage says, “… his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, ….” What about you during this Christmas season? Have you obeyed the Gospel summons to repentance and faith? When you do, your tongue shall also be loosed and you will begin to praise the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9)
