The Mystery of Advent

The Mystery of Advent

God’s plan for saving the world would flow through a submissive young woman: Mary.  Her response to God’s call provides us with an example of a humble, trusting, and yielded spirit – willing to follow where God’ leads. 

Observations:

  1. God wanted to use Mary
  2. What God says seems impossible for Mary
  3. Even in mystery, Mary submits to God

Conclusions: 

  1. The 1st mystery of Jesus’ birth is its personal implications
  2. To receive Jesus is to receive a miracle
  3. To receive Jesus is to submit to Jesus

Application: How do you respond when God says, “Let’s go”? 

  •  Meditate on the invitation that God would chose you
