I’ve always been struck by Mary’s response to the angel after he delivered his, “Hail, Favored One!” message that she would carry Messiah Jesus and bring deliverance to the world.
Jesus’ birth was still to come but Mary’s words are prophetic in nature–“The Lord is come, but look what He has already done.” I want to live hungry so God can fill me each day. I think that’s one of the messages of Christmas. What about you?
