Mary's Magnificat

Mary’s Magnificat in Luke 1:39-56 shows us three things about her

1 Mary knew her OT – She quoted scripture after scripture • All we need to know about God and serving Him we discover in the bible • We too should be a people of the bible

2 Mary worshiped God – her soul and spirit rejoiced in the Lord • Worship is a way of expressing our thankfulness and appreciation to the Lord for who He is and what He’s done • This teaches us the value of worship. Worship should be a lifestyle for us

3 Mary was humble – Mary demonstrates for us the great character trait of humility • One of the reasons Mary was chosen by God for service was her humility • Our humility before God and others will dictate how usable we will be for the lord • No humility – no usefulness // great humility – great usefulness
