Mary sang to God.

 From God comes my happiness.
 He cares for me.
 Thanks, because I can be a testimony for others.
 Recognize the power of God.
 He cares for who looks for him.
 He helps the poor, and admonishes who is proud.
 He will help who is humble.
 He promised this to everyone.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth three months (6+3 I think, until Elizabeth delivered).

- Mary express her personal emotion and her experience in meditating on the messeage os
the angel.
- The song is well known by the name of “Magnificat”.
- The poem is devided in two parts:
Luke 1:57-66.
The birth of John the Baptist.
Neighbors visited her to congratulate her for the miracle what God had done.
8 days later they went to circumcision the baby and name him.
 They wanted to name him Zechariah as his father.
 Elizabeth and Zechariah wanted to name him John as the Angel has said.
The people try to ask Zechariah by body language who was deaf-and-dumb how he will name his
son.
 He asked a tablet to write.
 He wrote: “His name is John”
 What the Angel has said was fulfilled:
o Verse 19. So, you won’t be able to say a thing until all this happens:
 All this happens: verse 13. You wife will have a son, and you must name him
John.
o Zechariah start speaking, praising the Lord.
 People were frightened.
o Curious how people react to a miracle.
 That was a testimony for the whole hill country as they keeping talking about what
happened that day.
 Everyone wondered what John will become with the help of God, because they were sure
the Lord would be with him.
Luke 1:67-80.
Zechariah praises the Lord.
Two wonderfull poems in this chapter of Mary, and Zechariah.
 The holy Spirit came to him.
 It was his first words after be deaf-and-dumb.
Praise:
 Recognize God the Father and the coming God the Son.
o He has heard about Jesus from the Angel, and that day from Mary. He really belived.
 He saves and protectes us, always he has done it.
 We have to be holy and good
 Talk about John: you will prepare the path for Jesus.
o The sins can be forgiven.
o He can recive the love and kindness of God.
o He can rescute who is in the darkness.
John grew up and he recived the power of the Holy Spirit, until he went to the people of Israel.
 After that, didn’t he have the Holy Spirit anymore?
