Sunday 22nd December (Advent 4) Nothing is impossible with God

Luke 1: 39-55

The angel said to Mary, "Nothing is impossible with God."
Immediately after the encounter with the angel, Mary took the time to visit and communicate with her relative, Elisabeth.  Elisabeth was overcome with inexpressible joy and was in absolute awe that the mother of her Lord should come and visit her. Being filled with the Holy Spirit, she cried out "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the child you will bear." She felt unworthy and yet at the same time was full of gratitude to her God who had blessed her abundantly. They were both filled with the Holy Spirit. 

 Elisabeth's baby leaped for joy and Mary's song was all about giving glory to God. She also acknowledged His mighty power and His endless mercy to those who follow Him.
Elisabeth was blessed as she believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from her Lord.
As it says in Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
