The Redemption Plan
“And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name.” Luke 1:46-49
Mary’s song of praise and her recognition of God as her Savior foreshadow the birth of Jesus, the Savior of all.
Her humble state and the extraordinary favour God bestowed upon her parallel the extraordinary nature of Jesus’ birth, emphasizing His divinity and His role as our Savior.
Her proclamation sets the stage for the arrival of the Messiah.
This is a reminder that Christ is the focal point of all Scripture.
This brief insight into His presence in this story is just the beginning.
