Advent Series - The Magnificat

This passage is known as the Magnificat because it is Mary's song that magnifies the Lord.  After realizing and embracing who Jesus is and what He's done for her, she responds with this song of exaltation to the Lord.  It's so easy for us to lose the significance of Jesus' birth and to take for granted who He is and what He's done for us.  My prayer is that through this Magnificat we'll come to embrace once again who Jesus is and what He's done for us so that we can respond with our own Magnificat.  

Passage: Luke 1:46-49
