Presented by Pastor ustin !reene "o#em$er %& %'14
Even though there were differences in their ages and circumstances, both Elizabeth and Mary were women chosen by God to be human instruments in the two most unusual and significant births in the New Testament...
...Its easy to deduce why Mary would have wanted to meet with Elizabeth as soon as ossible. The news Mary had !ust heard from Gabriel was startling, even scary. The angel understood how Mary was feeling and graciously told her of Gods sign that romted her to !ourney eighty miles to Elizabeths home" And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month. For nothing will be impossible with God. #$u%e &"'()'*+. Mary believed the angel, but its easy to understand that Mary would welcome anything that might bolster her faith ) anything that might underscore the reality that such miracles do occur. ,fter all, the concetion that would ta%e lace within her body would be comletely the result of Gods miraculous intervention without her even %nowing e-actly when it haened. Those uni.ue circumstances lead inevitably to further .uestions. /ow could Mary withstand the emotional and siritual strain that went with being the mother of Gods 0on1 ,nd because her regnancy would not be hysically noticeable for a eriod of time, how could Mary be certain right away that the angels words had really come to ass1 ,ll of those factors comelled Mary to go without delay to visit Elizabeth 2 the one erson who could verify for her that God was able to erform a concetion miracle. &
