People were talking about something awesome that was happening. Elizabeth had a son in her old age. Zechariah, despite being unable to hear or speak, confirms Elizabeth’s announcement that the baby would be called John. The name means the Lord has been gracious; not only to Zechariah and Elizabeth but to the nation of Israel since John would prepare the way for Christ. The people ask what the child will be. Do we ask questions about Christ and why He has had such an impact in history?
