We kinda skipped over this little detail this morning, but I did want to go back and address it.
Elizabeth- barren
Barren- Not fertile.
Advanced in years
But God.
God has proven that he is sovereign over the womb.
Think of the Israelite women in Egypt…
Think of Hannah
We’ve seen in Scripture over and over that God is the one who grants life.
And God proves it again with his work in the lives and wombs of Elizabeth and Mary.
After hearing from the angel Gabriel, Mary went to see Elizabeth
Luke 1:39
But look what happens.
Keep in mind who it was that Elizabeth was carrying.
Hers was a special baby as well.
She would bear the last Old Testament Prophet.
John the Baptist.
John’s message
Joh’s purpose would be to pave the way for the Messiah.
To point to Jesus.
To decrease as he would increase, and he already rejoices even in the womb of his mother.
And Elizabeth being filled with the Holy Spirit- We see this to empower for specific task, She cries out:
Look what she says.
Luke 1:
Eliz.
points out that Mary is blessed among women.
Indeed she is.
She is blessed to carry the Lord.
God has blessed her with this opportunity.
But again, being blessed doesn’t mean that she deserved it.
Not trying to beat a dead horse here.
But there are a lot of people who get this wrong and worship Mary and she is not nor would she want to be worshipped.
Jesus makes this clear.
Elizabeth isn’t worshipping Mary.
Although she calls her blessed.
The term blessed recognizes that Elizabeth knows that this came from outside of Mary.
I love that Elizabeth already understands that the baby in Mary is her Lord.
She knows this because the prophet inside of her leaped for joy.
And She makes one last comment-
Mary believed what was spoken to her.
She didn’t doubt, and she didn’t laugh.
Elizabeth’s husband… His faith was not so strong.
He didn’t believe.
Mary believed.
Zechariah doubted.
Sarah laughed.
Luke 1:17-
Zechariah doubted.
Sarah laughed.
Mary believed and worshipped.
And she offers a song of praise.
Listen to this.
And I would encourage you to go read as well
Mary worships here and i want you to see how:
Luke 1:46-
Luke 1:46-
Thats what worship is.
Its making much of God, and finding our joy in him.
Worship also realizes our unworthiness
She recognizes who she is in light of who God is.
She recognizes that it is God that has done the work in her.
He is the mighty one.
And hIs name is holy
She recognizes God has been merciful.
She didn’t get what she deserved
