The birth of John the Baptist shows the fulfillment of God's promise, His promise to the parents of this child who believed that nothing is impossible to God. The choice of the child's name here shows the divine intervention and the exceptional character of the child who is born. It is God who is the author of this birth and who chose this child in the economy of the world's salvation. God is faithful; He fulfills His promise to those who believe in Him.
