An exemplary couple!

 

At a recent wedding service, I heard Zechariah and Elizabeth put forward as models for a godly family  for the very first time. Due credit must go to the Lutheran Bishop for this unusual insight. What a fail-safe way to build a family life – “righteous in God’s eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord’s commandments and regulations.” And a further point to note is that the couple was united in their obedience! They had no children and while they might have been sad on this count, they did not let this interfere with their service to the Lord.

And the communication between husband and wife was perfect. Elizabeth knew everything that the angel Gabriel had said to Zechariah (despite the fact that he emerged speechless from the Temple).

Would to God that all couples fashion themselves after this happy duo!
