Holding Heaven page 3 by ric gustafson
Joseph studied his son's face. It was attentive.
" I shall continue the story".
" Your mother's cousin Elisabeth is married to an old priest named Zacharias. They live in the hills of Judah not far from Jerusalem. One day, Zacharias was in the holy place of the temple. It was his turn to offer incense on the altar.
Joseph looked at his son. " I hope I'm not boring you with the story".
" Later at home, Elisabeth opened the door. She knew right away something was wrong. Zacharias could not speak. Writing on a tablet, the old priest explained to his wife what happened. While in the Temple, the angel Gabriel appeared to Zacharias. He explained to the old priest that his wife Elisabeth would bear a son. They were to call him John. He was to be the forerunner for the long promised deliverer".
