We continue to look at the unexplainable this week through our advent series. There is much joy in the home of Zacharias and Elizabeth for Mary, who is bearing the Messiah in her womb has come to visit. This is a special visit as both Elizabeth and Mary give praise to God for His action on their behalf. It is His great mercy that is at the center of this joy. We do not deserve the mercy of God, but He freely bestows it upon us. That is what the celebration of advent is all about.
