What is your favorite Christmas song?


Is it "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby? "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Frank Sinatra? "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole? Or maybe it's one that's more recent?


There are probably a lot of favorites on your list , but there's one, that is probably the first to be recorded...it's called the "Magnificat" by Mary, also known as "The Song of Mary."


“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." Magnificat is Latin for the word "magnify." Mary was glorifying God as she sang this song. She and her relative Elizabeth marveled at their miraculous pregnancies and the good news about Jesus: God becoming man to save us.


This weekend at CrossWalk Church, we're continue our message series: "Investigating Jesus - A Walkthrough The Gospel of Luke" and we will see how Luke continued his historical investigative report about Jesus and how Mary and Elizabeth responded to the good news.


We can learn from these two amazing women that we can magnify God, giving him glory and honor, even when we don't fully understand what He is up to. We can learn to trust WHO even when we don't understand fully WHAT He is doing. We can rest in His promises that He is mindful of us and merciful to us.


So bring your Bible this Sunday to CrossWalk Church as we join Luke as he investigated Jesus, and rejoice with Mary that Jesus is our Savior!
