Luke 1:35-38

It’s interesting to notices all the events that lead to the outcome of the birth of Jesus or anything else that is foretold from God’s Word. The Old Testament revealed attributes about the Messiah, which Jesus fulfilled. The Savior was going to be human (Gen. 3:15), He would be of Jewish decent (Gen. 12:1-3; Num. 24:17), He would be of the tribe of Judah (Gen. 49:10), and of the family of David (2 Sam 7:1-17), born of a virgin (Isa. 7:14), and He was to be born in Bethlehem, the cit of David (Micah5:2).

The details that we discover in God’s Word will give us inspiration for our lives and that inspiration will find strength in God’s direction. When Mary was told of her pregnancy that would bring forth Jesus, her response was to the angel was “Behold I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” This was the start of her surrender, which lead to more than just prophecy but a life giving adventure.

The service we give in life should be motivated to reveal attributes we know of Jesus, for those around us to see. In the services that you preform how can Jesus be revealed? Maybe it’s just an alteration of motivation, but maybe it’s a change of service altogether.

Pray for God’s call on your life to be as evident as Mary’s call.
