At his son’s birth, Zechariah bursts into Spirit-filled prophetic song, the second song that Luke records, known as the Benedictus after the first word of the song in Latin. Mary’s song spoke of the reversal that Jesus would bring. Zechariah’s prophetic song is a hymn of blessing to God for his salvation of Israel, the fulfillment of promise and God’s faithfulness. He also foresaw his son’s future as a prophet preparing the way for the Lord who would bring light in the darkness.
