God’s promises echo through Scripture, from His covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12—the seed of the gospel—to their fulfillment in Christ. Luke, writing to Gentiles, reminds us that Jesus is the King of all nations.
The angel Gabriel assures Mary of God’s miraculous plan, pointing to Elizabeth, once barren, now carrying John the Baptist. When Mary visits, John leaps in the womb, a powerful reminder that even the smallest respond to the glory of Christ.
Mary’s faith reflects the promises she sees fulfilled: God’s mercy, power, and faithfulness to His people. Like Mary, we are called to respond in faith, testifying through our lives that Christ has come and secured the victory for all nations.
Scripture: Genesis 12:1-3, Luke 1:26-56
