Christmas Eve 2017 – The Gift Of Jesus
Bursting forth in song?
What caused Mary to sing…
a) Mary is excited – v 46-47
“My soul glorifies the Lord, and my Spirit rejoices in God my Saviour”.
“Blessed are you Mary among women, and blessed is the child you bear”
… a spirit inspired exclamation
b) Mary is blessed – v 48-49
…going to give birth to the long awaited Messiah.
Rev 19:10 … worship God alone.
c) Mary trusts God’s character – v 50-55
For us today
a) Not a revolutionary anthem
b) God can be trusted
… because Mary knows God’s character.
… because she knows that God has a plan to rescue his people.
c) The gift of Jesus
