The Word

Luke 2: 38

“38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.”

Mary, the Lord’s servant,  said yes.  

Yes to God.  Yes to love.  Yes to trust in the Lord. Yes to the true meaning of the words “Fear not.”  Yes to becoming God’s portal into the world.  Yes to becoming mother to the Messiah.  Yes to turning her back on the normal life she knew.

She asked only that God’s word to her be fulfilled.  But Mary did you know….

“In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).

May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
