What Does Luke 1:57 Mean?
The angel's word stands performed: Elisabeth's full time came, and she brought forth a son. The sentence is plain, but behind it lies a lifetime of barrenness ended and a prophecy kept to the letter.
God's promises come full term. Between announcement and fulfillment stretch the slow, hidden months in which nothing seems to happen and everything is happening. Elisabeth's son arrives exactly as heaven said — and every waiting believer may take courage from her delivery.
