WORD
“But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” -Luke 1:30-31
God sent a very important message to Mary. God has chosen her to conceive the Jesus, the greatest miracle. Mary received and believed this message- she conceived, carried God’s miracle and witnessed its completion. Like Mary, God has also chosen us us to conceive, carry and live out His miracle.
Conceivingthe Miracle. How did Mary respond in Luke 1:38? Mary believed and received the word. God wants to conceive the word/miracle in us. As we receive and believe, the word grows in us.
Carrying the Miracle. A pregnant woman changes, acts differently, becomes more cautious, and is always conscious of the pregnancy. How did your way of living change ever since you received Jesus?
Completion of the Miracle. (Luke 2:6-7) The journey was not easy and smooth for Mary. Our walk with God will have a lot of ups and downs but He promised us that He will always be with us (Hebrews 13:5) and will complete the work that He has started in us (Philippians 1:6).
