Bible: In Matthew 1, 16, Jacob gave birth to Yue Se, who was Mary's husband. Jesus, called Christ, was born of Mary.
What is recorded here is Mary's faith. What kind of precious heart can we learn from her?
We know that Jesus Christ was born through Mary, and Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit. It can be said that Mary is a virgin body and was born as Jesus Christ. One day, the angel said to Mary, I greet you, a woman who has been greatly blessed. God is with you. When Mary was very surprised, she said, "What does this greeting mean?" ? The angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy one you conceive will be called the son of God. 」。 What came into Mary's mind when she heard these words? Mary said, "I'm not married. How could this happen?" There is nothing wrong with getting married and having children. How did she get pregnant and have a baby before she got married? The angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. The holy spirit must work. When the holy spirit comes to you, you can get pregnant and have children. What kind of heart does Mary have when she hears what the angel said? A particularly precious heart is, "I am a servant of the Lord, and I am willing to do what you say for me." Mary has a very precious heart, a submissive heart? . Mary believed God's word with obedience. When obeying God's word, the Holy Spirit works on Mary. As a result, the Holy Spirit became pregnant and Jesus Christ was born through Mary.
When we live a confident life, when we face God's Word, can we obey God's Word in our hearts, or do we have our thoughts in our hearts? Even if God's Word doesn't conform to our thoughts, we can let go of our thoughts and accept God's Word. Even if God's word doesn't conform to our thoughts, we are especially precious to those who ignore our own thoughts and accept God's word.
At the wedding banquet in Cana, the people God used were servants. Jesus said to his servant, Fill the jars with water. They fill it up. Jesus said to them, Give water to the caterers, and they brought it. What kind of people did Jesus use?-Servants. With such a servant's heart, Jesus worked through them. Is there such a heart alive in our hearts? If you live with such a heart, God will work through you.
Live with a heart that obeys God's word. When we live with such a heart, God begins to work through us. The five women in the Christian genealogy all have a particularly precious mentality. Tamar's belief is-the belief of challenge. Ruth's belief is-the belief to follow. Rahab's faith belongs to her faith. Mary's belief is obedience. Bathsheba's belief is-the belief of demolition. We can see that through five women entering the genealogy of Jesus Christ, everyone has the inner world we learned before God. I hope that through Mary, we can learn a submissive heart in our hearts. When we obey God's Word, God's Word will work in us. Mary has a heart, that is, I am a servant of the Lord, and I am willing to do whatever you say to me. With this heart, I obey the word of God, which is realized in Mary's body, so Mary can be born through her body. Therefore, we can accept God's word with obedience before God's word, and God's word will be fulfilled in us, and we will also have the valuable work of Jesus Christ in us.
I also hope that we can learn the world of faith before God through the five women in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, and we can live a life guided by the Lord together. Thank you very much for sharing here. Thank you!
Mary obeyed God, and Jesus Christ was born from her God.
