HARD to JUMP

Luke 1:46 & 47
"46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."

Elisabeth has spoken from the inspiration from the Holy Ghost. In today's verses Mary tops off the previous proclamations; "My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath REJOICED in GOD my SAVIOUR." Beautiful words from beautiful ladies. 

"BLESSED art thou among women, and BLESSED is the fruit of thy womb." Elisabeth knows this is an honor to be visited by Mary and the unborn Jesus. She proclaimed it loudly. Recognizing that Mary is "BLESSED" and clearly understanding that this unborn Jesus is her LORD and SAVIOR!!!

Elisabeth said her baby "LEAPED in my womb FOR JOY." What makes you jump for joy? Sometimes it's HARD to JUMP for JOY. We might not feel joyful. In fact we might feel the opposite. We might get down in the dumps. We can realize that we are all sinners. Each dirty and filthy in our own way. From here we MUST look to this baby. Our Lord and Savior being born into the flesh. To live and breathe like us. To walk and talk amongst us. And to die on the cross for our sins. It is the most incredible thing to ever happen!
JUMP FOR JOY!!!
Like baby John the Baptist!!

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...
