Mary’s Song

Posted on 09 Dec 2019, Pastor: Rev. Derek Geldart

Blessed are those who believe in Jesus! Last sermon entitled “Go and Tell” we examined the song of Zachariah and in doing so stressed the importance of Christ’s ambassadors, i.e. us Christians, to go and tell the whole world the Good News that the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace has arrived! While we are aware of our obligation to proclaim Jesus’ name on his birthday, we often fail to do so either due to indifference, lack of courage or not knowing the “right” words to say. This sermon is going to address these issues by examining Mary’s Song from the Gospel of Luke. The first part of this sermon is going to look at Mary’s visit with Elizabeth (39-45) to help ignite our passion for the Babe lying in the manger who bought and reconciled us with a holy God. The second part (46-49) is going to strengthen our resolve to witness by reminding us that God choses the weak and lowly to shame the strong. And lastly this sermon will finish (50-56) by stating the right words to say reflect the truth that those who humbly accept Christ as their Savior will be saved while those who are too proud in their inmost thoughts will be brought down from their “self-glorifying” thrones!
