TITLE: Mary’s Example
Scripture: Luke 1;26-38, 46-55
I. THE CRY OF THE HEART
A man’s heart: “Every man has a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.” John Eldredge
The heart of every woman wants to be romanced, to have a role in some adventure, and has a beauty to unveil.”
“The king will desire your beauty.” Ps.45:11
II. THE CRY FROM THE HEART
Two cries from the heart of Mary:
- Luke 1:38
- Luke 1:46-55
Three bite-sized chunks of Mary’s heart:
- Mary’s (attitude) of worship. [46-48a]
- Mary’s (object) of worship. [46-47]
- Mary’s (reasons) for worship. [48-55]
“Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.’ Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Pr.31:28-30
