50c Mary Visits Elizabeth [Luke 1:39-45]
The Bible passage: [Luke 1:39-45]
The Story:
Mary left and hurried to a town in Judah where she entered the house of Zechariah and Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby inside her leaped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Elizabeth exclaimed with a loud cry, “You are the most blessed of women, and your child will be blessed! How could it be, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? When the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped for joy inside me! You are blessed because you have believed and what was spoken to you by the Lord will be fulfilled!”
The Lessons:
- Zechariah was told that John would be filled with the Holy Spirit before he was born. The Spirit led John to react when Mary spoke. And then his mother was filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit then inspired the words of Elizabeth to Mary. Even before he was born, John was preparing the way for Jesus.
