Message - 05/12/2024 - What's in a Mother? - Text: Luke 1:26-45

As we read the story of Jesus' birth we hear of the virgin Mary being visited by the angel and told she will give birth to the Savior. Mary visits Elizabeth, a woman previously barren, who is pregnant as well, and confesses her faith in the child that is in Mary's womb. Mary and Elizabeth, become mothers during unusual circumstances. Mothers who believed in the Savior of the world. Mothers who would do anything for their children. As we celebrate Mother's Day, we all have mothers. Yet there are many who struggle with this day, because of their own experiences with their mothers, or for their desire to be a mother that has never been granted. Wherever you are on this day, the Savior, who was born of the virgin, laid down His life for you, and is always with you.
