This week, as we light the 3rd candle in our Advent wreath, we focus on Joy.
Joy is a word that often is tied to emotion, but as Christians, we should tie our joy to the word and work of Jesus Christ. When we can move to this type of joy, we are no longer dependent on situations to bring us joy, but instead joy becomes a lifestyle.
In this sermon, Mary experiences the dread of having to bear a child as an unwed teenaged mother in the ancient near east. This could have dire consequences on Mary. Unwed mothers in this time, at this place in the world, could be stoned to death to avenge what would have been dishonor to Mary's family name.
As the angel tells Mary not to fear, how could she move out of that fear? The only way was to remember who was making the promise that she was "highly favored."
Mary could trust God because, time after time in scripture, God proves that his word is faithful.
Join us today as we shift from fear to joy through the story of Mary's song.
