My Sunday Scritpture 2009.12.20
Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah.
She went into Zechariah's house and greeted Elizabeth.
Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
She gave a loud cry and said, 'Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord?
Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy.
Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.'
Luke 1:39-45

My Reading Notes:
------------------
This is one of the most interesting stories from the Bible. An ordinary girl Mary had been, but suddenly she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus.
All of a sudden, she was blessed with the good will of the Heaven.
and with a sword, too.
She was destined to suffer the lost of her child.
One would admire her of her way to receive God.
And one would also had to have some wisdom to understand that by taking up the important task, she must also suffer.
No other suffer could be bigger then the suffer she had.
To compare with her, we are but small creatures.
