“The Promise Affirmed”
Lesson: Luke 1:39-56
GOLDEN TEXT:
“Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced
in God my Savior” (Luke 1:46-47).
TODAY’S AIM:
“To observe God’s miraculous workings in the lives of Elisabeth and Mary.
INTRODUCING THE LESSON:
Human experience is not necessarily a revealer of God’s plans for or
involvement in the lives of His people. We must be careful of our inter-
pretation of our own experiences or the experiences of others. We must
believe the clear statements of Scripture, not old sayings or clichés. We
may even have heard someone quote a secular poem or song to support
their spiritual opinion! Worldly sayings can never replace the clear truth
of God’s Word. Two or three Scriptures on a particular subject at hand
may suffice to show the Lord’s teaching.
Our lesson this week looks into the lives of two of God’s servants and
teaches us some spiritual concepts important to our daily walk with the
Lord. Both women showed humility and obedience to the Lord. Neither
of them believed that she deserved anything special from the Lord but
praised Him and rejoiced in Him when blessed.
PRACTICAL POINTS:
1. We should acknowledge both great and small things the Lord does
for us (Luke 1:39-44).
2. God will act in response to a small measure of faith (Luke 1:45-47).
3. God’s power transforms us into world changers. His power shames
the prideful (Luke 1:48-51).
4. God’s plans make the sinner stumble and elevate the true believer
(Luke 1:51).
5. God puts down and raises up those of His choosing according to
His sovereign will (Luke 1:52-56).
CONCLUDING THE LESSON:
Whatever else we may do with our lives, let us remember to use the
two marvelous qualities of humility and obedience. We already have
them through the Holy Spirit's indwelling. It is always possible to
resist the promptings of the Holy Spirit, but it is tragic and rebellious to
do so. We can rejoice when God uses our common human experiences
to reveal Himself to others. Humility can become our way of thinking
when we remember who we are and who God is.
