Mary’s Song (Luke 1:46-55)

After Gabriel appeared to Mary, she knew she was going to bear the Messiah, but she still had to wait through Jesus' childhood, teen years, and young adulthood to see how it would all play out. Today, we know how it played out - with Jesus dying on a cross and rising again, defeating sin and shame and death. But we are still waiting for the day when Jesus will come again. This week, we look to Mary's Song as an encouragement in our waiting for the final fulfillment of God's promises. And consider how we can actively participate in helping to usher in the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.
