Luke 1:26 – 38; 46 - 55
The birth of Jesus Christ demands a reaction from us. What is yours?
Mary’s response was one of joy.
“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my saviour.” (Luke 1:46, 47).
Joy not happiness.
Happiness depends on the world around us.
Joy comes directly from the Holy Spirit.
Experiencing joy requires the ongoing transformation by the Holy Spirit – it is a journey.
Mary fled from the outward things that robbed her of joy.
What things in your life rob you of joy?
She went to the place that would bring her joy.
For a Christ follower this is in our relationship with God.
Psalm 146:5; Psalm 142:3a; Psalm 30:10, 11
Where do you find your joy in God?
