“When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her. When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child, they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother said in reply, \u201cNo. He will be called John.\u201d But they answered her, \u201cThere is no one among your relatives who has this name.\u201d So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote, \u201cJohn is his name,\u201d and all were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God. Then fear came upon all their neighbors, and all these matters were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea. All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, \u201cWhat, then, will this child be?\u201d For surely the hand of the Lord was with him. The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Luke 1:57-66, 80<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “You, child, will be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way.”<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n See Luke 1:76<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Humble Servants are set up as a genuine act of kindness with one sole purpose which is to kindly spread an ounce of light to others in our daily walk of life!
