Our guest speaker last week raised many themes, the primary theme being God’s long plan for our redemption: since before creation! This week we look at this and other themes through the lens of Mary’s visit to Elizabeth (as instructed by last week’s speaker) and of her song of praise to God, The Magnificat.
We’ll look at Luke 1:39-56, Galatians 4:1-7, Exodus 34:29-35, and 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 before we’re through. In the end see that the same Spirit that miraculously conceived Jesus in Mary is within us today. He is born in us – Emmanuel – and we need not live in fear of the dark or any evil any longer. If we walk in Mary’s example of trust in God – “I will serve the Lord in any way to you ask me to,” we will bear His image more fully each day and further His purposes and bring Him glory!
