Christmas Lessons from the Life of Mary

Some of you have mothers that might do something like that. If you're a mom, one of the reasons God has you on this earth is to teach your kids lessons for life. Here's a question for you to ponder: What did Jesus' mother teach Him? Some wrongly exalt Mary, making her almost equal with God. But I think we sometimes underestimate the importance of Jesus' mother as a model. Let's look at three lessons we can learn from the life of Mary, in Luke 1:26-38.

I. No Matter Who You Are - the Lord Can Use You (v. 26-27)

II. No Matter What Your Situation - the Lord is with You (v. 28-33)

III. No Matter What the Promise - the Lord will Fulfill It (v. 34-38)

What promises of God are you tempted to doubt? What promises should you be claiming? Nothing is impossible with God. We have to say what Mary did, 'Let it be to me according to Your Word, O Lord.'
