Mary is chosen. John the Baptist is chosen. The Shepherds in the field are chosen. Focus on what it means to be “the elect” or chosen by God. Abel’s offering chosen. Abraham chosen. Jacob chosen. This has nothing to do with who gets in to Heaven, but those blessed by God to bring his generosity and goodness to everyone around them.
This week, we focus on the forgiveness of God, restoration, and redemption. Zechariah doesn’t believe and loses the ability to talk. Mary isn’t believed and nearly divorce and publicly shamed. They are both given a restoration and sing a poetic song of praise. Throughout the Bible, God’s generous with forgiveness and restoration. We talk about the coming of the Messiah is to renew all things, restore humanity and the planet toward the Eden ideal.
