As we enter into the week of Christmas celebration. As believers, as the body of Christ, it is a joyous time of celebrating the Birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Many gifts will be bought, and many gifts will be given this week. But we celebrate the Greatest Gift anyone can receive, The Lord Jesus Christ being born of a virgin. As the angel appeared to Mary and began to explain how the Holy Ghost would come upon her, she would have a Son, and His name would be Jesus. We are thankful this morning for the angel Gabriel delivering that message to Mary. That was his task given by God, and he fulfilled that task. However, I want to bring your attention to Mary’s response to the announcement of Gabriel. “And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to they word. And the angel departed from her” (Luke 1:38). Mary acknowledges herself as a servant of God, the handmaiden of the Lord. Thank you, Mary, for your willingness to listen to the instructions of God. Thank you, Mary, for being a willing vessel; God could use to bring the gift of Salvation to the whole world. I ask you this morning are you saved, and if you so, do you present yourself to God as a willing vessel. Mary was special because of her response; Mary was special when the Holy Ghost came upon her. My friend, God, is still looking for the Mary spirit to present the Son of God to the whole world. How willing are you to submit your will to God’s will and be used through this week to bless someone? Father, I pray that we will have the Mary Spirit throughout this week and allow the Holy Ghost to use us to demonstrate the Gift of God to the Whole World. Be Blessed in Jesus Name!
