The story of
Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke chapter 1 is one of great faith and
hope. The reference to Herod (vs. 5) reminds us that this was a dark
time in the world. Herod the Great was a tyrant who held on to his
throne at all costs. He would even execute his own family members if
he felt they were a threat to his throne.
In contrast
to this were Zechariah And Elizabeth, godly individuals who were
lights shining in a world of darkness. Verse 6 gives us a look into
their character, which allowed them to shine in this darkness.
First, they
were “both righteous before God.” To be righteous means to be
just, to be in a relationship with God. They were declared righteous
by God because their faith. Secondly, they walked in “all
commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.” To walk refers
to their conduct. They conducted themselves according to the word of
God. Their lives were patterned after the divine standard. Biblical
righteousness is an inward quality that manifests itself in obedience
to God’s word.
Here are two
people who were steadfast in their confession of faith. They were
committed to living out (expressing) their faith. What a testimony
of faithfulness. Do we stand righteous before God? Are we
patterning our lives after the divine standard? Do we give
consistent and visible expression to our faith?

Attendance
all too often lags in most congregations as in ours. For whatever
reason, many in the church neglect the assembling with the saints as
though no consequence will ever come. Any who have that feeling
should read carefully Hebrews 10:25-31.
Sometimes
folks miss services, and since no one appears to notice that they are
gone, missing becomes habitual. Humans need reminding. In case of
those who “forsake the assembling” many times the only thing
needed is a kind reminder that they were genuinely missed, and that
is what you can do.
Be aware,
not only of those who are present, but those who are absent. Write,
call, or visit them and let them know that you personally missed
them. That is what YOU can do.
