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...

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...

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.

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...
