I am reading through the accounts in the New Testament of the Bible of the birth of Jesus and I came across this line in the first chapter of Luke.   And I found this line a little interesting.   Now I do know the story but I still find this fact interesting. Now Zechariah is an older priest and an angel comes to him and said this statement.   Of course I probably would be afraid if I saw an angel but excited that God had heard my prayer and was going to answer it.   It seems that Zechariah had been praying since he was young for a child and now the angel says it is going to happen and he is afraid.

Have you ever wondered about something and you didn’t know where to turn to find the answer?   I had heard someone say that going to college is not to know all the answers but where to find them.   So because of that fact I thought I would take a few days leading up to Christmas and read a book that tells about the person of Christmas.   And that person is Jesus Christ and the book is the first book in the New Testament of the Bible.   And it is written by a man who personally knew and followed Jesus.   His name was Matthew.
