Leaping Baby

Luke 1:40 & 41
"40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:"

Continuing our series titled Children of the Heavenly Father. This week we will study an event that took place when Jesus was IN UTERO. We turn to the Gospel of Luke. A doctor who was a Syrian from Antioch, Luke brings an outsider's perspective to the amazing events he chronicles. He lived and traveled with the disciples and family and would have had access to all the first person eye witnesses to the life and work of Jesus Christ.

For this week's verses we know that Luke talked with Mary recorded these cherished events from VERY EARLY in the life and times of Jesus. In today's verse Jesus is a growing baby in Mary's womb. She has gone through considerable stress in her family and hometown. So, getting away to the "hill country" to stay with a cousin would be a welcome rest and relaxation.

Today's verses, Mary arrived; "And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth." Zacharias was a PRIEST from the tribe of LEVI who served the Lord during the reign of Herod in Judea. Zechariah’s wife, Elizabeth, was also a descendant of Aaron, they are pregnant with the baby who will grow up to be John the Baptizer; the forerunner of the promised Messiah!

"And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, THE BABE LEAPED in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:" This prophet is eager to proclaim the arrival of The Messiah. He is LEAPING with JOY in his mother's womb at the sound of the voice of Mary the mother of Jesus! He knows!! And, the HOLY GHOST is here inspiring their hearts and minds!
This is a wonderful event!

Please take two minutes to watch this fun video that addresses one of the MOST IMPORTANT issues facing us today in the voice of CHILDREN...

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.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

God’s purpose

1 Kings 19:17&18 "17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him." God shows Elijah his true impact and future plan. He commands Elijah to leave hiding and anoint three figures: Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha. These appointments signal judgment and renewal, as Hazael and Jehu will help overthrow the Omride dynasty, including Ahab and Jezebel. God provides not just succession but a plan to purge Baal worship. His work persists through new agents beyond Elijah. The passage stresses that God’s purpose depends on no single person; Elijah is not alone—7,000 in Israel remain faithful to God, unbowed to Baal. This remnant upholds God’s covenant amid apostasy. Elijah’s story teaches: our isolation and despair are illusions. Focus on God’s greater,...
