On Sunday we continued in our Advent series looking at the songs of Advent. This week we turned our attention to Mary.

Luke 1v46-55 is Mary’s song. She sings because God has included her in His promise to bless the nations. She gives her yes, her surrender, so that she may participate in the fulfillment of this hope.

The promise given to Mary is a part of a very old promise to Israel. God will send a Messiah to redeem his people from the curse.
 
The promise is unique in that it does not offer to heal the world with a political system, but with the incarnation - God inside of you, making you new. This reordering of humanity itself is what will lead to heaven on earth.
