|
Luke 1:38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.
The miracle virgin birth was a tangible, physical sign of God's miracle power and his willingness to save us. But we too can experience the virgin birth. When the Spirit comes to us we can also give birth to Christ. Not physically like Mary did, but as we become part of the Body of Christ we give birth to Christ in this world anew. We too must be willing, however, to say yes to God's plan as Mary did. We too must be willing to see the suffering and experience the tribulation as Mary did. We too must keep all these things in our hearts to be told as Mary did.
Father, help me to be like the handmaid of the Lord and to be willing to give birth to Christ in my life and in the lives of those I encounter.
Amen
