Luke 1:11 (NIV) Then an angel of the Lord appeared to (Zechariah)…
Zechariah was going about his daily duties when the angel appeared to him. You’d think that, being a priest, Zechariah would have responded differently to the angel; but his response to Gabriel’s joyful news was one of fear and unbelief. Why is it so difficult to connect faith with life? It is because we live with a reality based in our five senses and it is difficult to commit to something seen only through eyes of faith. He saw a real angel and heard a definitive message but he found it difficult to exchange his reality for God’s reality. As we live with our eyes fixed on Jesus (Heb. 12:2), the connection between faith and life will come to us more easily.
