What Does Luke 1:65 Mean?
The events of the day — the insistent name, the loosed tongue, the flowing praise — send holy fear through the neighborhood, and the story travels from village to village across the Judean hills.
This fear is reverent awe: the recognition that God is at work close at hand. Word of what God does cannot be fenced in; it is noised abroad by the very nature of wonder. Long before John preaches a sermon, his birth is already preparing the region to listen.
