Luke 1:26-38: Mary's Discoveries

Mary’s Discoveries

Luke 1:26-38

The church is being tested. We are being tested. We are not to love the world.

2 Corinthians 11:3: But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

James 4:4: Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1) Mary discovered God’s plan was coming. Luke 1:30: And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

The deity of Jesus Christ: Son of the Highest. Luke 1:32: He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David]. We should live our lives with eternity in view.

2) We see God’s promise. Luke 1:32-33: He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. God is faithful to His Word. God would move in a marvelous manner to do what He promised He would do. Romans 4:21: And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

3) We see God’s power unlimited. Luke 1:34: Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

If God will not remove the trial, He will give enough grace to bear it. Luke 1:37: For with God nothing shall be impossible.
