TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.” (Luke 1:7)

BIBLE TWEET: Elisabeth was not only barren, but believed to be past childbearing age. Yet, with God, who loves to do extraordinary things through those from whom nothing is expected (1 Corinthians 1:28), even the barren can be used by God to miraculously birth the magnificent.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: As physical barrenness—the failure to bear children to carry on Zacharias’ name upon the earth—was seen as the ultimate disgrace to Elisabeth, spiritual barrenness—the failure to win converts to Christ, in order to carry on His name upon the earth—should be seen as the ultimate disgrace to any incorporated church or individual Christian.
