Luke 1.39-56

Elizabeth, John the Baptist (from the womb), and Mary all live to give praise to God. Mary makes God’s name great through a song that tells of His mighty deeds for His People. We are compelled by their example to use our lives for the same purpose: to bring glory to God by making His works known to all people.

Luke 1.26-38

While Mary’s character can be seen in other passages, God’s character is on display here. God gives grace to whom He wills. His grace is not earned, but freely given to His People.

Luke 1.5-25

Luke begins his account of Jesus’ birth by telling us of the day when an otherwise ordinary Jewish priest had his prayers answered. God had not spoken to His people directly for over 400 years. That all changed when Zechariah encountered an unexpected visitor inside the temple.
