Luke 1:74-79

74He promised to rescue us from our enemies’ power so that we could serve him without fear

75by being holy and honorable as long as we live.

76“You, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. You will go ahead of the Lord to prepare his way.

77You will make his people know that they can be saved through the forgiveness of their sins.

78A new day will dawn on us from above because our God is loving and merciful.

79He will give light to those who live in the dark and in death’s shadow. He will guide us into the way of peace.”
