Because of Bethlehem

“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.” – Luke 1:46-48

Mary’s world turned upside down. She was engaged to be married, but the angel Gabriel paid her a visit to share the news that she would carry the Messiah. She would be the one to give birth to Jesus, the Promised One. I can only imagine that Mary was a mixed bag of emotions that day. I know I would be.
