I’m Rev. Jay Stuart Glover, and you are listening to Faith Talk. Thank you for joining our global listening audience as we embrace the fourth Sunday of Advent. This is a season of joyful anticipation, as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of the coming of Christ.
In the Gospel according to Luke, in the very first chapter we find the story of Mary going to visit her cousin Elizabeth, who was pregnant and would soon give birth to John the Baptist. Mary was also pregnant, and she was carrying Jesus at the time of this visit.
The story tells us that when Mary got to Elizabeth’s house she greeted Elizabeth, and when Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, her baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. The bible says that 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
I love the part of this account where Elizabeth says: “ But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
Elizabeth's question, "But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" captures a profound moment of spiritual insight and humility.
Thank you for joining today’s episode of Faith Talk. May God’s peace and joy fill your hearts as we continue to prepare for the celebration of Christ’s coming. Until next time, keep the faith and share the love of Christ.
