Connect Series: Connect Through Companionship

In our relationship series, Connect, we are looking at the lives of Bible couples and the issues they dealt with. This week, we look at the marriage of Zacharias and Elizabeth who developed a marriage based on love and companionship.

When you meet someone, you usually want to know something about them. Here's some information on Zacharias and Elizabeth:

How they met? We don't know.

What was she like? We know that Elizabeth was a descendant of priests (Luke 1:5); was a righteous person (Luke 1:6); was older (Luke 1:7, 18); likeable (Luke 1:58); and was supportive of Zacharias (Luke 1:59-63).

What was he like? Zacharias was a priest (Luke 1:5); was righteous (Luke 1:6); older (Luke 1:7, 18); a man of prayer (Luke 1:13a); and was obedient to God (Luke 1:13b; 62, 63).

What was their issue? They were childless (Luke 1:7).

How'd it end? Zacharias and Elizabeth were faithful to God and faithful to one another and God blessed them (Luke 1:8-17; 66b; 80a).
