Text — Luke 1:5-26
Message
Elizabeth was the mother of John, the Baptist and the wife of Zachariah. She was a woman of great faith and intentionality; and she is being projected to Christian youths today for them to learn from her consistent walk with God. Warren Bennis said, “The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary.” From this submission, we can say that there is quite a lot to learn from people with sterling and exemplary qualities. Elizabeth is one of them. She was barren yet she continued to serve God with her husband in righteousness. God always rewards those who are faithful and committed to His will. Elizabeth was not disappointed as God eventually visited her and she conceived and gave birth to a spiritual icon, John.
Many Christian youths are not like Elizabeth as they lack devotion to God. If you are not yet born again or your life is not consistent with God, then amend your ways and go to Jesus for the cleansing power before it is too late.
