Luke 1:78 Because of the merciful compassions of our God, in which the rising sun will visit us from on high. (Recovery Version Holy Bible)

In Luke 1:78…Zachariah prophesied, “The rising sun will visit us from on high.” This rising sun is the Son in the Divine Trinity. This implies God’s incarnation to show Himself to us in a shining way. No one has ever seen God, but through His incarnation we have seen His face and have beheld His glory (John 1:14), and He has been shining upon us continually. Wherever He went, He was a great light shining upon the people sitting in darkness (Matthew 4:16), for He is the light of the world (John 8:12). (Life-study of Numbers, msg. 11, by Witness Lee)

Jesus the Savior was the dawning sun to the dark age. His coming ended the night of the Old Testament and began the day of the New Testament. As the fruit in Elizabeth’s blessing (Luke 1:42), He is life to us (John 14:6); as the sun in Zachariah’s prophecy, He is light to us (John 9:5; Matthew 4:16). As such a One, He is the Accomplisher and the center of God’s redemption that His people may obtain salvation. (Luke 1:78, footnote 1, Recovery Version)
