Magnificat

“Magnify the Lord” was the title of our Advent message yesterday (watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QftOYwAbG-c). In Luke 1:39-55, we learn about Mary’s Magnificat the latin word for “My soul magnifies the Lord” – found in verse 46. Even though Mary was in an awkward circumstance as an unmarried pregnant virgin, she began to speak the Word of the Lord from the scriptures she had learned. By her example we can face life’s unexpected happenings with God’s promises to us and knowing we are blessed. In this way God is glorified.
