LUKE 1:39-45
39: At that time Mary
got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,
40: where she entered
Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth.
41: When Elizabeth
heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled
with the Holy Spirit.
42: In a loud voice she
exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will
bear!
43: But why am I so
favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44: As soon as the
sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45: Blessed is she who
has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
(New
International Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
MARY VISITS ELIZABETH
The two women finally
met each other. One was carrying a child even though she had never known a man
while the other was pregnant after she had been declared 'barren' by the
society.
God used their
different situations to raise godly 'seeds' that totally changed human history.
Mary's visit to
Elizabeth further confirmed the Lord's prophecies to her concerning the child
she was carrying. Her greetings caused the child in Elizabeth's womb to leap
for Joy while she herself was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was indeed the
saviour of the world who brings joy to mankind. He feels people with the Holy Spirit
to accomplish His purposes on earth.
QUESTION:
What is your view about Jesus and His ministry on earth?
PRAYER:
Help me, dear Lord, to always encounter You so that Your Spirit will empower me
to do exploits on this side of eternity, in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
