Luke 24:6-7 Oh how Mary's heart must have overflowed with joy as she discovered the empty tomb and encountered her beloved risen Savior. A joy that would ignite hope in the hearts of believers for generations to come. How wonderful to be greeted not with the lifeless body of Jesus, but by an angel happily… Continue reading March 7th – Luke 24:6-7

December 6th – Luke 2:7
Luke 2:7 I love the saying that true greatness is not found in majesty, but in the tender embrace of humility. In the quiet humbleness of the manger, we see that the mightiest of miracles often unfolds in the gentlest of places. That’s why Christmas is all about humility. Mary and Joseph found themselves in… Continue reading December 6th – Luke 2:7
April 30 – John 20:16
John 20:16 I love the imagery of Jesus as our Good Shepherd. And how each of us knows His voice when He calls our name. It was Mary's name, spoken by the Lord, which opened her eyes to the truth. And upon seeing the truth, she fell at the feet of Jesus holding tightly and… Continue reading April 30 – John 20:16
December 24th – Luke 1:45
Luke 1:45 We all want to be chosen by God to do great things. But if He did appoint a task for us alone to fulfill, how would we feel? I often imagine how Mary must have felt hearing the glorious news she was to carry the Savior of the world. Was she scared, excited,… Continue reading December 24th – Luke 1:45
December 10th – Luke 1:45
Luke 1:45 When I think of Mary, a young girl of 12 or 13, I’m always blown away by her faith and obedience. The angel Gabriel came to her saying she would soon become pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit. And without blinking an eye, she believed and obeyed. Because of her faithful… Continue reading December 10th – Luke 1:45
April 21st – John 19:25-27
John 19:25-27 Jesus is in a terrible agony, with a deep concern in his heart. Concern not for Himself, but for His mother Mary and His devoted followers. Because He sees how they’re suffering at the feet of His cross. The Lord wants His loved ones to be cared for as only a family can.… Continue reading April 21st – John 19:25-27
April 20th – Luke 2
Luke 2 I can’t imagine what it would have been like to be the chosen mother of the Savior of the world. Most of the time she probably saw him as just an ordinary child. But then there were those special times. Times when Mary was reminded that Jesus was destined for so much more… Continue reading April 20th – Luke 2
December 24th – Isaiah 53:1-5
Isaiah 53:1-5 I love the song, “Mary did you know?”. And my favorite lyric is, “Did you know that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.” As a baby lying in a manger, Jesus came as the perfect, unblemished Lamb of God. The only One… Continue reading December 24th – Isaiah 53:1-5
December 11th – Luke 1:46-56
Luke 1:46-56 Many are the carols and songs we sing at Christmas, and we each have our favorites. But one of the greatest Christmas songs, and probably least known, is the song sung by Mary. The young mother blessed by God to birth the Savior of the world, sang the very first Christmas song. Called… Continue reading December 11th – Luke 1:46-56
December 10th – Luke 1:30-45
Luke 1:30-45 During the time of Jesus' birth, the customary age for betrothal was 13 or 14. And Mary was probably around this young age when Joseph asked her to marry him. Think about that! And at her tender age not only did Mary get a proposal, she was also visited by the angel Gabriel.… Continue reading December 10th – Luke 1:30-45
