Introduction

Whatever said baby being born to Mary was a vital importance.

Because:The baby was:

Jesus

Son of the Most High

The Son of David

The ruler over the house of Israel

The King, whose kingdom would never end

One born of the Holy Spirit

The Son of God Himself

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

THIS IS THE 1ST TESTIMONY EVER GIVEN ABOUT JESUS BIRTH.

I) Elizabeth is Visited by Mary

Mary went with “haste”

which means to hurry, speed, diligence, care, zeal

she went to get encouragement from someone who was going through a similar situation.

God was working miracles for both.

Mary entered the house and 3 supernatural things happened.

The babe leapt

It was proof that the baby Mary carried was special!

He was revealed by the Holy Spirit

Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit

Elizabeth lived a holy life

because of that God was able to use her

Elizabeth spoke with a loud voice!

II) She Proclaims the Greatness of Mary’s Baby

Elizabeth proclaimed 3 things about the baby Jesus

proclamation of praise

the 1st act of Elizabeth was to honor the baby

God would have Jesus honored, just as He was honored in heaven

She proclaimed Mary as blessed, because of the baby she carried

even though Elizabeth was older, and of a higher class

she was not jealous of Mary

(CSB)

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.

4 Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

III) She Proclaims Mary’s Baby as Lord

She called the baby “MY LORD”

the Holy Spirit identified the baby as

The Messiah

The Son of God

She was under the control of the Holy Spirit

all she said had to be true

She tells of the sign

the unmistakable sign of the baby leaping

IV) She Proclaims Mary’s Faith Would be Rewarded

Elizabeth claims Mary’s Faith would receive the promise.

Mary has been blessed by believers, since Christ birth:

Because she believed the Word of God (V. 38)

Because Mary was related to Christ in a special way

Purpose:

The same 2 factors apply to our lives.

We must believe the Word of God sent to us.

(CSB)

28 He said, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.”

b. We must be related to Christ by adoption into the family of God!

(CSB)

4 When the time came to completion, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5 to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

6 And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

All Christians along with Mary have seen the miracles and blessings of God daily

BECAUSE: we believed in God’s promises, so we are blessed to see them.
