A few nights ago, as I was listening to K-Love, I heard one of their hosts say:  “A Willing Heart is more important than an Able Body”

 

Amen.

 

And this is, indeed, the beginning of the story of Christmas.

 

And, with that in mind, I want to encourage all of us to begin our quest of truly honoring God and the birth of His ambassador, Jesus Christ.

 

The story of Jesus began (in our earthly sense) with a visit from an angel to Mary…..and the angel tells her some awful news.  Her wedding, and her plans to be married with honor, are going to be thrown away. She is going to be God’s servant. She is going to carry the Son of God.  She is going to be scrapping her plans and carrying out the will of God. And she replies:

 

Luke 1 38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.”

 

Mary’s obedience is the beginning of the story of Jesus.

 

It is the ultimate model on how we are each called to respond to the Lord.

 

And as we head into 2019, it is a model for what we are called to do…….

 

What would the world look like if each of us said to God:

 

“I am the Lord’s servant”

May it be to me as you have said”

 

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
