Elizabeth - Her Promise

Elizabeth - Her Promise

God always keeps his promises! For hundreds of years, God had been telling the people of Israel that he would send a Messiah. One who would provide a direct bridge to God himself. One whose sacrifice would provide redemption for all time. The events in this first chapter of Luke are just the beginning of the fulfillment of God’s greatest promise to his people. With Mary we can say: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!”
