Nativity of St. John the Baptist
Luke 1:57-80

“Here Comes the Sun”
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The title of the sermon this morning is “Here Comes the Sun”. And no, I’m not going to sing you a Beatles song. The “SUN” in this case is Jesus. That’s why John the Baptist was born—to tell everyone that the sun was rising. John’s dad, Zechariah, prophesies about him, “whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high.” That, in a nutshell, is what John the Baptist is all about. Telling us, “Here comes the sun.” And that’s why we observe his special birth today.
