Mary’s “yes” and Elizabeth’s faithfulness guide our path, showing that we too have a role to play in bearing God’s good news into the world. How will we respond to the invitation to participate in God’s promise? How will we share real hope – not simply a wish – but the promise of God fulfilled in Jesus? Pastor Mary’s message is based on Micah 5: 2-5a (A Promised Ruler from Bethlehem) and Luke 1: 26-55 (The Birth of Jesus Foretold and Mary Visits Elizabeth).
