What can we learn from Mary?


Luke 1:26 38; 46 - 55
  
Despite being central to the Christmas story, we often don’t speak of Mary.

Mary provides a model of the character and faith of a Growing Disciple of Jesus.  You have found favour with God” (Lk 1:30)

With God the impossible becomes possible – “For no word from God will ever fail” (Lk 1:37).

When was the last time you faithfully and obediently responded completely to the call of God?


Mary demonstrated humility

Mary dared to believe that God had chosen her

Mary saw it as a joy to be used by God to fulfil this task

Mary recognised that this was the responsibility of God


Today, God still sends messages that can be both disturbing and wonderful at the same time, occurring right in the middle of our life plans.  How will you respond?
