Listen from:
V.39-45 Mary goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth who is to give birth to John the Baptist. We can read the wonderful conversation between these two favored women. But notice that the subject is of the child to be born to Mary, not Elizabeth. Notice in this chapter the mention of God, the Lord, Holy Ghost, Jesus, Son of the Highest, Lord God, Son of God and God my Savior. What a story!
V.46-55 Mary takes a very low and humble place. And her full heart said, “God is my Savior.” She needed and trusted in a Savior too!
V.68-79 The 67th verse had said that Zacharias, a priest, Elizabeth’s husband, began to prophecy, or say profound things by the power of the Holy Ghost.
V.68-75 Amazing words which tie Old Testament prophecies to their fulfillment in the birth of the Lord Jesus. Notice in the margin of your Bible — if you have a King James version — the many, many references to the Old Testament verses mentioned. If you have time, turn to them. You’ll see how wonderfully the Bible all fits together.
V.76-79 The father addresses his son John.
V.80 John disappears into the deserts for many years until we read of him in Matthew 3:11In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, (Matthew 3:1).
