Don missionaries. We had near a couple weeks ago that were headed to Georgia. No whenever they sent back on inodes and they talked about how our children in our thoughts about the children here in out of their kids just like OpenDoc and where just like they always been here, and she said, and I don't be. I know is I try to fuss over Ron of course fusses over all the kids and she said that doesn't happen very often, and other places that they travel all over the country and built the different churches and she said that this was the warm and one of the warmest churches for her, found the family that you never been in and I was like that. That's quite a compliment to you and to everyone for our children because our children are our life. And you know your life, and they just part of who we are and it's just so as so important that we nurture each other and nurture our children and no ride on them hard on them, bless them pray for them and all that's that's that's important. That's our responsibility to do that and it doesn't matter who don't have any kids. My kids are all grown so no high by the layout being grandparents. We had the friends of the children and because church should be the best place if you ever go in and then fell toward inter vivos, Luke chapter one verses thirty nine to fifty six. It's a wonderful life the leverage and I might say that the in chapter one verse thirty nine fifty six and the very this late hour thinking about the off the wonder of Christmas and but also the what what Scriptures and around the birth of Christ are ones that give us a sense of wonder gives us a sense of law and of course I'd had the everyone of this images in the Christmas story do, but said that I am looking at these particular ones. These particular verses in chapter one verses thirty nine fifty six course I be referring to are the ones prior to that, so if you have your Bible just failed to do that chapter at the time. Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she had to back arrived home and greedy and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and a loud voice she explained. Blessed are you among women and blessed as a child, a child you bear. But why am I so favored, but the mother of my Lord should come to me as soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my will, only for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord that what the Lord has said to Harwell be accomplished and Mary said, my soul glorifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his server from now on all generations will call me blessed for the mighty one has done great things for me. Holy is his name, his mercy extends to those who fear him from generation to generation has performed my DD finally, we are scattered those who are proud in their innermost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty. This helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and to his descendents forever, even as he said to our fathers, you know, wonder the word wonder is a cause for astonishment. It is a word that means admiration from larval or to stand in all, so whenever we wonder wonder as a wonder out under the Christmas song is you can get the correlation there when we however we regress and read the story of Christ and the birth of Christ and an wheat. We are in a law of of what transpires here. One of the things that I think is so prevailing for the church and for Christmas and for the birth of Christ, is that all of the prophecies of all the things that came to fulfillment in Christ and in the way that Jesus was born in and the whole sequence of events. If you go back over the others. The centuries that are outlined in the Old Testament there are there are emphasis on the amount virgin shall conceive and and you call his name Immanuel, Allen's God with us and that you know it. All these prophecies is Jesus didn't just arrive on the scene and become this guy that taught us and gave us that the need for this for the New Testament. Jesus is the prosthetic form of fulfillment of promises that began with Adam and Eve in the garden began will you are sorry. I'm still not over, that the Weber, but now how that how that the problem promises. They were given to Abraham and his descendents and to David and to yell to David so blind that they would be someone on the throne of David forever, so missed this whole idea of the birth of Christ. This is so magnificent. It is so awe-inspiring. It is an astonishment is something to be admired, and whatever we are looking at this great prophecy from the creator of the universe. It comes down to what teenage woman married and her desire to allow what God has promised to be fulfilled in her life or uniting than a touch of the wound that was nice to see how she did this product there like this here. Usually she rolled on the floor that find their place in dire and I died. I fingered like the I really love my wife is in his eyes lingered like teleplay with the preceding one, but on this nevermind okay, undisputedly getting in trouble like you don't know you have all of these prophecies you have all these things online and in and out from the Old Testament and in the coming of the Messiah and the coming of the Savior and a virgin shall conceive and office are young woman named Mary and Mary were at the ring that we just accomplished. We have fired to this in verse thirty five. It says that plumber thirty four marriages will help interesting things happen because I'm a virgin. And in verse thirty five the angel said the Holy Spirit will come upon you in the power of the most high will overshadow you. So we have this declaration that America doesn't understand the full impact or how all these promises are how this declaration. You're going to have a child and nurses. You know what, how can this happen. The angel tells her that verse thirty six, said that even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age and see who was sent to be very into her six month so there's another affirmation. The almonds in a few emotion is having a child and then we have the area. Her response. Nothing is impossible with God nothing is impossible with God. In verse thirty eight I am the Lord server may be in the as you have set so here we have this young unmarried girl with found with child supply way of saying she is pregnant she's having a baby and how will this happen, how long these things happen. The Holy Spirit will come upon you wonder of it all, but the spirit will come upon you the birth, the living Word of God. John later calls and the Word made flesh and dwelt among us one. Born in infamous the birth of Mary, this is virgin conceiving this all turns out this plan ahead and in a while while my trying to say here is when the Holy Spirit moves upon your life and my life. The word of God, salvation and forgiveness of sin, the word of God for promise. God will never leave you nor forsake you the word of God. That is the same spirit, the raised Christ from the dead woman you'd be so quick in your mortal body, you see, every time these words of the Scripture come to your life. The Holy Spirit can see them in your heart, just as the word of God comes to narrating declared by an Angel that you're going to have a child and she says, how can these things be, and the Angels are the spiritual overshadow you and Mary says, behold the handmaid of the Lord, we them even as you have said that type of declaration that type of a something that has to happen in each one of our lives. Each one of our lives. The word of God promises of God are awakened to our lives as we hear them, but the Holy Spirit comes and was then conceives in our hearts so we can believe that that word for me for my life for my future estate Jesus was born without the they are not entered in the world throughout them, and this is where we look at this and Adam was Adam was formed by God and Adam disobeyed God. He said Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit just as Adam was created sinless man, in contrast, Jesus all day God was able to face the consequences and are quite Adam Sandler brought sale upon us all. Brotman says it this way. Romans, chapter five, says if one man sin, put, and I like this& put crowds of people at the Danny and habits of separation from God. If one man sin whatever it for the human race at the avarice of separation from God. Just think, when God 's gift. Jesus Christ will do if one man sin puts us at the address of separation. One man's life. Christ there is no comparison between the deathdealing sin and this generous life giving you that is in Christ, if death got the upper hand through one man's wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes this sovereign life and those who grasp with both hands. This wildly extravagant life gift this grand setting everything right, the one man, Jesus Christ provides it is not life, giving you that the spirit hovers over our lives to conceive in our spirits, and in our mind, the magnitude of never being separated from God I'm not God promises are worth in our life. The wonder of it all the child in Mary's womb is a life-giving here this day, with the grace and mercy of God extended to all mankind. The all the all of what we are celebrating the all of the gift that is given to us, and because of this, Jesus with entering judgment for forgiveness because of this cases where no longer at the address of separation. We are in a relationship with God, in which the forgiveness and grace and mercy are born in our lives in which we have hope that we have life which radar setting for his forgiveness and for his righteousness, and when Mary declarant to the angel, may it be to me as you have said she's not sure I'll believe she had the concept of the magnitude of this decision bailout for me as you have said is a hard decision touches our lives. Her decision ranges through our choices and leave us at this point out our wonder, now there's a song that's out. I've been out about five years and and I hope I will reluctantly importantly, did you know that Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water. Mary did you know that your baby boy will see Marfan and daughters did you know that your baby boy has come to make you do this child that you delivered will soon deliver you, Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man. Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm the storm with his hand. Did you know that your baby boy has walked were angels trod when you kiss your little baby you kiss the face of God is my favorite line in the whole story and the whole song, the blind will see the deaf will hear the dead will live again the label. We believe the dumb will speak the praises of the Lamb Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation. Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations did you know that your baby boy is heaven 's perfect Lamb this last stanza says this sleeping child. Your holding is the great I am so here is married because. Because of this, Jesus we are transformed because of this, Jesus, we trade our sins for his righteousness, and while barriers saying yes to God and she is going to see Elizabeth and universes that we have read Elizabeth here is Mary's greeting, and Elizabeth immediately recognizes that Mary was Mary's child was the Messiah I worry Elizabeth Henry seemed America one are all whom that her husband hold a captaincy and she is bearing one day be John the Baptist, the one who will prepare the way for Mary's child, Elizabeth says this is the mother of our Lord Elizabeth Grady confirms the message that Mary had received from the angel, the wonder we are to marry her pregnancy seemed impossible, but for Elizabeth in what she says in these verses, she declares that it is God who has spoken to her and Elizabeth believed that the Lord 's faithfulness and rejoicing in Mary's life 's condition. She rejoices in this condition, that is, and then in the next verse we have that we have what has been called the magnifico, when Mary glorifies God in song for one years was going to do for the world to her. Mary glorifies God for what God was going to do for the world through her and you and use it. Think about it is you read the stories in our setting there and I was thinking about this in the site can we believe can we believe the same declaration for the word that has the birth can see in our own lives that God can we rejoice and glorified God for what God is going to do for the world through you and I what God is going to do for the world through us. Where is Sable were not that important, but just as it is great is that hungry on the spirit of God over honest and we can see the possibility of eternal life alive in us. If the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwell in you, he will quicken your mortal body weight outcome. That knowledge because of an intellectual ascension to Tucson level of intimacy with God, we come to that realization, because the Holy Spirit has birth can see that in our hearts and we have believed it to drive it in our words and in our actions and in how we believe and how we live out our lives is is the word of God being conceived in us why this spirit, the David, do you know that the word in you is life eternal, we can use our names and say do we know that that word in you is life eternal, Jesus said, I will not eat this bread and drink of this cup to light through the new with you in my father 's kingdom. Jesus is waiting for the day in which all of us will be present in his kingdom, and that is not an intellectual. His ascension is the birth of the spirit ring. It is a conception God broken that in our lives in July. Our realization that David did you know we stand in awe of what God is doing in those promises that he has placed in our own hearts, promises of God conceived. And I live by the power of the most high overshadowing us promises of God. They come into our line to fulfill the will of God. They come into our life to fulfill the will of God for why we are here, why we are alive why our life matters, and why our life has purpose God has never created anything without purpose. The Bible declares long before he laid down the first foundation. He had us in mind and had settled on as the focus of his love. These are the things that the word staged to watch the bow, just as there were prophecies about how Jesus would be born and how that his life would be lived in the death that he would live the life he would have ended that they would have and the resurrection and the ascension and the promise of the Spirit coming. Those are all marital prophecies of the Old Testament, but Salcedo, RVs, declarations, long before he laid down the Earth 's foundation. He had us in my baby did you know the general that this Jesus that you proclaim as your Savior will save you from your same digital, but that spirit of raised Jesus from the dead NTFS spirit dwells in you the Unabomber. You know when you will never be separated from God. Nothing can separate you from the love of God is alive more than your principalities nor powers, the things present nor things to come. The high floor. Anything in all creation. So I'm available separately to remove you from Gaza and David, did you know this is the spirit working in us and in our life Elizabeth knew things were going to change Blessed are you among women and blessed is a child, you will bear. Can we believe in declared Blessed is the word of God in my life blessed is this word in my life because it is life giving promises and life giving spirit is life to loss is it is that which we did, is that which we saying is that which we pray is that which we believe it is that which is born in us, not because we are in church, but because of the spirit speaks to us the wonder of it all. The word transforms our life. God creates you got shapes you God gives you. He calls you he saves us for purpose. That's why the Bible says, give yourself completely to God. Every part of you for you are back from the dead he knew must want to be tools in the hands of God to be used for his good purpose. Verse thirty eight, says Mary. Mary says that I am the Lord 's servant may indeed in this you have set the hobby. Mary feel about the news of God as the word of life is conceived in her womb, verse forty seven, says my soul glorifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. It's Mary's song, but you see, it is our song my life glorifies the Lord my soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, our time of worship our time of saving our time up on lifting our hearts, so the Lord is a time of glorifying God. The word is more than God 's gift to you is to get of God through us those around us. Mary declares a verse forty eight. From now on all generations will call me blessed, was married being proud no, she was recognizing and accepting the gift God has given her. She was recognizing and accepting the gift that God was giving her and the difference. This gift was going to make it. Mary denied the truth of God of this gift to her. She denied the position that God had placed therein. She would be throwing the gift of God 's blessing back and casting them aside. Humility is accepting the gift and using the gift to praise and serve God 's sake, when we take the word of God, and apply to our lives and accepted into our heart. We are like Mary Mary did you know your bed will be one day walk on water that your will same our sons and our daughters that you will give sight to the blind and will calm the storms with his hands and and he is that he has walked where Angels have trod. Mary did you know these things in her song verse forty six and Mary said I'm bursting with good with God news. I'm dancing the song of my Savior God, God took one look at me and look what happened. I'm the most fortunate woman on earth. What God has done for me will never be forgotten the God whose very name is holy set apart from all others. His mercy flows in wave after wave on those who are in all before him. The wonder of it all. Those who live in wonder and in all of God are the ones to which he speaks the word in you this word alive in us, my soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. The wonder of God 's word in our life. Did you know do you know he has changed us for rep. Anthony, according to your work. Think of all the promises that God has given us in the Scriptures. Think of all the promises that God has blessed us with and the Holy Spirit has covered us, or to seeing those things in us and that five- on those promises give us hold and gives us life. Being an aunt who wants as you have said, just not just like Mary, but as Mary had to believe she receive as we believe it is conceived in and thenDon missionaries. We had near a couple weeks ago that were headed to Georgia. No whenever they sent back on inodes and they talked about how our children in our thoughts about the children here in out of their kids just like OpenDoc and where just like they always been here, and she said, and I don't be.
