Blessed?
Mary was a blessed woman.
The reason is because she believed that there would be a fulfillment
of what had been spoken to her by the Lord (Lk. 1:45).
What the Lord said to her was that
the virgin Mary (v. 27) would conceive in her womb and bore a son, and she should name Him Jesus (v. 31).
It was the word that the Holy Spirit would come upon her,
and the power of the Most High would overshadow her,
And for that reason the holy Child should be called the Son of God (v. 35).
The holy Child’s name is “Jesus” and He would be great, would be called the Son of the Most High;
“and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end” (vv. 32-33).
Mary believed and prayed that
there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord (vv. 38, 45).
Are we blessed in the sight of the Lord?
