Why does a story about Jesus start with his cousin John? Its a question that has always followed me... why is the story of John the Baptist so important in the story of Jesus?
The opening of Luke may provide a clue... when Zechariah goes into the temple and his prayer is heard, he begins a time of silent waiting. Waiting for the arrival of his son, which is an act against all odds. Israel is in a time of waiting too, for the messiah. And the time of waiting grows short as the arrival draws near.
Welcome to Advent - the wait for an arrival.
