Spirit Led Jesus Day 70
Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, when filled with the Holy Spirit, exalted the coming Messiah. "And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied saying, 'Blessed be the Lord God of Israel.'"1 Zechariah at first did not accept the Lord's doing and was struck dumb for it. It was only after the baby was born that Zechariah could speak and his first words were that the child should be called John.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Simeon that he would not die without seeing the Christ. He was led to the Temple and lifting up the baby Jesus said those well known words "Lord, now let thy servant depart in peace..." "And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ."2 Jesus was conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit. This made him a brother. "The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God."3 Jesus is the child of the Holy Spirit and his brother. "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit."4
