Luke 1:46-55
This year we are covering the four Gospel Accounts together in chronological order.
In the previous post, we covered Luke 1:39-45. Here was the conclusion:
Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit when she heard Mary's voice because John the Baptist leaped for joy in her womb. Elisabeth spoke prophecy and blessings by the Holy Spirit to confirm what Mary had believed by the Holy Spirit.
Luke 1
"46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."
(Mary's response to Elisabeth was to speak according to Mary's faith. She testified that her Son would be the Messiah...and that Mary needed a Saviour. For those who believe Mary was sinless, verse 47 contradicts that doctrine.)
"48 For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name."
(Again, Mary confessed her low state and gave the credit to God.)
"50 And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him."
(A modern translation of "fear" is respect and honor.)
"51 He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 He hath put down princes from their thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away."
(These three verses were effects and examples of verses 48 and 49: God blesses those who are humble and of a low state.)
"54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy
55 (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever."
(These two verses were effects and examples of verse 50: God's mercy is on those who respect Him. Abraham and Israel would be shown God's mercy through JESUS.)
CONCLUSION
Mary confirmed her faith in what was stated to her by the Holy Spirit and Elisabeth concerning JESUS.
