Two Mothers, One Promise

 Mary, the mother of carrying Jesus, traveled to visit her relative Elisabeth, who at the time was also with child carrying John the Baptist. When Mary arrives and greets Elisabeth, John leaps in Elisabeth's womb. It's almost as if John could feel the presence of Jesus nearby. Elisabeth is then filled with the Holy Ghost and begins to prophesy saying, "Blessed art thou among women, Blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Even though not yet born, John responds to the presence of Jesus with joy. For anyone who believes that unborn children are not living, human beings you are most certainly wrong. When John the Baptist leapt in his mother's womb and she was filled with the Holy Ghost, that was confirmation for Elisabeth to tell Mary that she was carrying the Son of God. Elisabeth reminds us that those who trust in God's word will see its fulfillment. Even when you don't understand how or why, trust God to reveal it to you. I am most thankful for Mary trusting and believing in God and for her doing God's will by carrying and birthing the Son of God. Had Jesus not been born, there would be no salvation, no hope for mankind, and no one entering into Heaven through repentance and belief in Jesus Christ. Can you imagine an eternal separation from God? I never want to know what that is like. There is coming a day when the skies will be split open and Jesus will return for His people. It's important more now than ever to be ready for His return. Are you ready? Is your name written in the book of life? If not or if you are unsure, it's not too late. Give your life to Jesus. Step into eternal life. I pray this helped someone.
