The opening act to the Christmas story begins with the morally upright priest Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth. This ideal Jewish couple have only one problem, they can't have kids. What would be seen as a difficulty to be overcome today was a shameful deficiency in the 1st Century. While serving in the Temple, Gabriel appears to Zechariah and promises that God has answered their prayer in the form of a miraculous child who will take up the mantle of the prophet Elijah and lead his people back to their God as well as prepare the way for the Lord's advent. If this is God's opening act, imagine how amazing the Messiah must be.
