And Shall Drink Neither Wine nor Strong Drink
Luke 1:15-16
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink…


His drink was water of the river. He lived on locusts and wild honey. Men felt in him that power of mastery which is always granted to perfect self-denial.

(Archdeacon Farrar.)
