DECEMBER 2008 MARY CHRISTMAS Mary will have a Son, and you will name Him Jesus - because He will save His people from their sins (Matt 1:21) MARY CHRISTMAS Yes, I mean M-A-R-Y, and not merry! The reason for this strange topic is found in Luke 1:30-32: Mary, you have nothing to fear. God has a surprise for you: You will become pregnant and give birth to a Son and call His name Jesus. He will be great, be called 'Son of the Highest.' .. and in Matt 1:23 The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a Son, and they will name Him Immanuel, which means God is with us. As we celebrate Christmas this year, we can learn some lessons from the story about Mary, as it is found in Luke 1:26-56. We can read these words in the Bible and put ourselves in Mary's place remember that we learn from her, we do not worship her. |

MARY WAS A VIRGIN (Luke 1:27) She was a young woman, who was pure and clean. She was set aside to be used by God. Maybe you do not feel clean today, or worthy to be used by God. There is good news for you: if you come to Christ you can be cleansed and have a fresh start, a new beginning He can make you a virgin! The Bible says: Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. (2Cor 5:17) .. I'll forever wipe the slate clean of their sins. (Heb 10:17) ..events of the past will be completely forgotten (Is 65:17) God can use anyone, in spite of their past. Believe today that God has a special purpose for your life. |

MARY RECEIVED A VISIT FROM AN ANGEL (Luke 1:28) Mary lived in a small, insignificant little town, Nazareth, probably in a small and humble home. God visited her there where she was. It wasn't too small, too low or too poor for God. You may be living in a place that you are shy of, but know for sure, that God wants to visit you where you are, and speak to you no matter what your physical boundaries are! For He has had pity on His servant, though she is poor and lowly placed. (Luke 1:4) |

THE LORD IS WITH MARY (Luke 1:28) and the Lord is with YOU. This is a promise from God Himself, and it is repeated over and over again in the Bible. Do you believe God when He says: I will never leave you; I will never abandon you (Heb 13:5) I will be with you to protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken! (Jer 1:8) When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you (Is 43:2) I will always be with you to save you; My presence will protect you on every side (Isaiah 58:8) And remember that I am always with you until the end of time. (Matt 28:20) |

THE LORD HAS GREATLY BLESSED MARY (Luke 1:28) The Lord will surely bless you: His favour is on you and you are special to Him. He planned you, and created you, He even counted the hair on your head: He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail - even numbering the hairs on your head (Matt 10:30) He celebrates and sings because of you (Zeph 3:17) - this is how special you are! |

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME ON MARY (Luke 1:35) When you are a child of God, the Holy Spirit lives in you, He guides you and gives you power. Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? (1Cor 6:19) When people yield their will to God and allow his Spirit full control of their lives, God will do wonderful things. God knows what He wants to do through each person. He will speak by his Spirit to each person, alerting his children to the necessary adjustments they need to make. Those who hear His voice and respond obediently will experience God's mighty power work through them. The Spirit of the LORD will be with him to give him understanding, wisdom, and insight. He will be powerful, and he will know and honour the LORD. (Is 11:2) |
