November 21 - She Shall Bring Forth A Son.

Matthew 1:21
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
 
She.
She carried the Saviour into this world for a specific purpose.
 
She was espoused to Joseph.
The angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream telling of what was going to take place.
 
Matthew 1:20
“But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.”
 
She was highly favoured.
Luke 1:28
“And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.”
 
She heard of His greatness.
Luke 1:32-33
“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”
 
She was willing.
Luke 1:38
“And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.”
 
Mary the Mother of Jesus also serves as an example that God can use us for a specific purpose.
 
How willing are we?
