What Does Luke 1:66 Mean?
The hill country does more than talk; people store the story in their hearts and ask the right question: what manner of child shall this be! Luke adds the answer in a phrase — the hand of the Lord was with him.
Some works of God must be carried as questions for years. Those who treasured John's strange beginning would live to hear him preach at the Jordan. The hand of the Lord — his present power and keeping — rests on the child through every silent year between. God's hand holds what God has begun.
