God rescues and delivers people for Himself, and He accepts His chosen!
Scripture: Luke 1:67-79
In Luke 1:57-79 we have the account of Zacharias and Elizabeth. Do they qualify for the category
of people that God loves to accept? In their culture and time, not being able to conceive children
meant one was cursed. Everyone else had children but this couple had none and it was a great grief
to them. They endured much pain and humiliation. Everywhere they went they were the subject of
pity. Their painful walk of childlessness produced humility. Luke 1:67-79 says, “Now his father
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: ‘Blessed is the Lord God of
Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people, And has raised up a horn of salvation for us
In the house of His servant David, As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, Who have been
since the world began, That we should be saved from our enemies And from the hand of all who
hate us, To perform the mercy promised to our fathers And to remember His holy covenant, The
oath which He swore to our father Abraham: To grant us that we, Being delivered from the hand
of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before Him all the
days of our life. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before
the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the
remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God, With which the Dayspring from on
high has visited us; To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide
our feet into the way of peace.’” Who does God accept? He accepts everyone who will come to
Him. From this point on, saints, we cannot entertain the voice of the accuser of the brethren. God
has demonstrated who He accepts, and He accepts all who come to Him. He even accepts some
who refuse to come to him until they get knocked off their donkey! God rescues and delivers
people for Himself, and He accepts His chosen!
