World's Best Parents

On this special Mother’s Day, we reflect on the profound impact that godly parents have on their children and, by extension, on the world. Looking at the story of Zachariah and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist, we see a model for what it means to raise children who are strong in spirit and purpose. Jesus himself called John the Baptist the greatest person ever born, which points us to the extraordinary influence of his parents. Their story, found in Luke 1, is one of faithfulness, surrender, and hope in the face of impossibility.
