In Luke chapter 1, we read how Zechariah and Elizabeth were promised a child in their old age, and Mary was promised a child--Jesus Christ the Messiah--even though Mary was a virgin. Although Zechariah responds to this promise in doubt, Mary responds in faith. And when Mary visits Elizabeth, Elizabeth responds in humility and joy with a blessing. From this passage, Pastor Phil encourages us to consider the importance of humility, the importance of believing in God's promises, and the joy that we can have in remembering Jesus Christ, regardless of the sorrows or difficulties we may be experiencing at Christmas time.
