Jesus shouldn’t have come as a surprise. God had been promising to send a Savior for ages. He gave glimpses of what He intended to do through dozens of men and women over centuries. Isn’t that amazing? God didn’t leave us in the dark. He was always shining a light ahead – giving us shadows of what He intended to do. But, praise God, He did it in Jesus. He kept every one of His promises. That’s why we can trust in Him. He’s done what He promised in the past. We can be confident that He’ll keep His promises in the future.

When Mary found out that she was pregnant, she went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was also expecting a baby.  When the two met each other, Elizabeth's baby, John, jumped for joy!  Mary was so happy that she sang a song of praise to God.  Mary's song reminds us that Jesus' purpose on earth is to take care of those who are vulnerable and needy.
