The Magnificat

On Sunday, we will explore Mary's story and song, "The Magnificat," in the advent narrative. While Mary plays a crucial role in this story, her song highlights God's character. It shows that God uplifts the distressed into his greater plans and purpose. Mary is well aware of her low status, challenges, and even loneliness. But when the creator of the universe remembers her, she can't help but "glorify the Lord and rejoice in God her Savior." Her song is personal and passionate because of who God is. God has been reversing the status of people for generations.
