Mary, the mother of Jesus was the most important human in the most earth-shaking event in history: Bringing the Messiah into the world. Which could make our calling feel insignificant. But Mary wasn’t super-human, she just humbly said yes to God. Like we can. And there’s so much MORE than that! Helping with the more is author and speaker, Marina Hofman (PhD) who teaches Bible and theology at Palm Beach Atlantic University. We discover from Mary the power of saying yes to God.
We see in her the call to be all in with God yet not have to be all put together. Other powerful take-aways: The same Spirit that conceived Jesus in Mary’s womb is at work in us. Mary walked out her enormous calling by taking the next step. Mary’s life calls us to a long obedience in the same direction. We too bear Christ to our world. When facing the impossible, trust God. And finally, as Mary was assured that “No word from God will ever fail,” we have the same assurance. If this encourages you, please share!
