Women in focus:
----Mary-----
One of the most unique stories of our faith is how God Himself became flesh. The Word made flesh dwelling among us. Jesus who is God Incarnate entering human history through the womb of a woman- Mary.
Mary, an ordinary young Jewish women in her society; of no status or name. But she recognized when she received a visitation from heaven. She put aside her life, expectations, agenda, hopes and dreams, and chose to give birth to the purposes of God in her generation, Israel. She knew her small decision to birth the Messiah would have generational and eternal implications. She understood the prophecies concerning Messiah, and she herself desired to hasten His coming. She gave birth to her Deliverer , so that the Deliverer could Deliver her. If we ponder the revelation, of the power of a woman saying yes to God it terrorizes the gates of hell. Let us too say yes to the plans and purposes of God in our generation, as we await the Deliverer to come again once and for all, and finally ransom us from this age.
