The Spirit that Nurtures Christ’s Work

Scripture Focus

In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:39-45)


The Spirit treasures Christ and His work in one another

And she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! (Luke 1:42)

Practice:
Slow down and prayerfully consider one person to encourage what Christ is doing within them or find someone to help process what Christ is doing in you.


The Spirit humbles us with God’s mission

And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Luke 1:43)


The Spirit treasures God’s mission advancing

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45)
