Luke 1: 53-56

When Mary says these words about God’s faithfulness to Abraham and his descendants I can only assume that she is remembering the covenant that God establishes with Abraham in Gen. 12: 2,3 & Gen. 15. Mary here gives a powerful witness to the faithfulness of our God. Through her song, she proclaims that if God establishes a covenant then God will remain faithful to it.

Now with the birth of her son, Mary also gives witness to God’s faithfulness to send a Messiah not just to Israel, but to the whole world as well. If it is true what we read in
Hebrews 13:8 that, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” then this same God who was faithful with Abraham, Israel and Mary is faithful to us as well.

Can any of you give testimony to the faithfulness of God in your own lives? If so led please share so that others may be encouraged!

God’s Peace,
Pastor Brad
