Yesterday was a great day - even i had a struggling time in the middle. I had a lot of conversation in the streets. Showed Bible scriptures to strangers and other things i saw and learned.
Lk1,39-45 Maria is going to Elisabeth. Soon after the angle talked to Maria. Maybe that was also a security issue. But anyway - when she arrives the Baby in Elisabeth is jumping.
Elisabeth says interesting things - she is filled withe the holly spirit:
43 But why am I so favoured, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!
She is already very clear about who this child is!
The Baby in Elisabeth is reacting joyfully ...
Elisabeth is pointing out faith in Maria(Maria could still speak - but Zacharias, after he met the Angel, could not speak)
It is interesting:
This old wise lady, filled with the holy spirit, knows who this child is. The baby in Elisabeth knows too. The faith of Maria is praised.
As if Luke wants to make clear - this IS the Son of God, who will be born soon.
It is all facts, no doubt. But it is not facts about a normal human being. But facts about the Son of God.
An Angel came twice. Ones someone did not believe, the other time someone believed.
Who am I: Do i believe ore do i let go inside me and not believe.
The Angel says:
45 Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!
Maria believed: It will happen like the Angel told.
Maria believed the Angel, with the message from God.
Do i believe God today?
Is my life different today - because i believe God? / Maria's life radically changed because of the belive she had. It became dangerous, it became strange to all the people around who did not have the holy spirit.
Do people, who do not have the holy spirit, understand my life - ore do i life a live following God, which does not make a lot of sense to the people around, because i life on faith and not on what people can see?
Need to think about this some more :-) find practicals
