GREAT MERCY

Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. (Luke 1:57-58)

Elizabeth’s neighbors heard that God had shown her great mercy, and they were happy for her. They came together to celebrate at the time of John’s circumcision, eight days after he was born.

But what does that mean, “great mercy”? I suspect the first thing they were thinking of was her safety. Childbirth was a dangerous thing in those days, all the more for a woman as old as Elizabeth was. But of course that wasn’t all. In a culture where childlessness meant you might not have anyone to take care of you in old age, the birth of baby John was indeed “great mercy.”

So John represents both safety and security for Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah. But he means something to us, too—because John is the “first installment,” if we can say that, of God keeping His promise to send the Savior—Jesus, His own Son, who would be born just six months later. John will prepare the way for the One who makes us truly safe forever, at the cost of His own life. Now that Jesus has broken the power of death over us by rising from the dead, He will raise us also on the Last Day—and bring us safely into His kingdom.

WE PRAY: Lord, You are my true safety. Thank You. Amen.

Reflection Questions:

What kind of safety does Jesus offer us? How do you know?
When you are afraid, how does He help you?
How does Jesus embody God’s mercy to us?

And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name. …” And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home. (Luke 1:46-49, 56)

Mary is overjoyed, so much that she can’t help bursting into poetry, trying to describe what God has done for her. She has good reason!

For the next nine months, Mary will live more closely connected to God than anybody before or after her. While she carries Jesus, her body will provide everything He needs—oxygen, food, warmth, all physical needs. Her choices will influence His future—what she eats, the stresses she endures. Her voice will be the first that He hears; and He will feel her emotions through the effects they have on her body. He will be wholly dependent on her. What an honor, and what trust God shows in Mary!

And after Jesus is born, He will be almost as completely dependent on her and on Joseph for years to come. They will protect Him; they will feed, shelter, and teach Him. God set all of this up so that Jesus, in turn, would become the One we all depend on—our dear Savior, who rescued us at the cost of His own life, and who lives forever as our beloved Lord and the home of our hearts.

WE PRAY: Dear Jesus, I am glad to depend on You. You have never let me down, and You never will. Amen.

Reflection Questions:

What do you need in order to feel safe being close to someone?
Are you comfortable depending on someone other than yourself? Why or why not?
How about depending on the Lord—what has your experience been there?

GOOD BEYOND BELIEF

In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country … and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. … And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:39a, 40, 41b-44)

I love Elizabeth’s reaction. As soon as she realizes that Mary—and Jesus, in Mary’s womb!—have come to visit her, she cries out with joy. And her baby, John, leaps inside of her for the same reason.

We too have good reason to cry out and jump for joy, because Jesus has come to us—we, who had no claim on Him at all, no reason to expect such love and blessing! But God has come to us in human flesh and blood, one of us—and not just for a short visit, but to be our Savior forever. Through His suffering and death He broke the power of evil over us; and now that He has risen from the dead and lives forever, we know that we, too, will live with Him forever. We will never lose Him, and He will never lose us. His lovingkindness is forever.

WE PRAY: Dear Lord, thank You for coming to me in my own life, and making me Yours forever. Amen.

Reflection Questions:

What is the best thing that ever happened to you? (No fair saying “Jesus”!)
When you first had that good thing happen to you, how did you react?
Does it surprise you to know that Jesus considers you—you personally!—to be His joy? (See Hebrews 12:2.)

CONSENT?

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:38)

Mary is in an interesting spot. God has not asked for her consent, at least not directly. The angel has simply told her, “This is how it will be.” Does that sound unfair?

And yet, isn’t there a sense in which all of us who belong to God have given our consent to be used by Him long ago? My husband doesn’t need to ask me before he commits me to helping a friend who is in an emergency. He knows my heart already. Of course I’ll say yes!

And the Lord knows Mary’s heart as well. He knows she loves Him. He knows she will consider the Gift He is giving her to be exactly that—the best gift ever!—and a great honor and responsibility as well. And we can see that He is right—because when she visits Elizabeth, she bursts out in a great song of praise for the wonderful thing God is doing through her, sending our Savior Jesus into the world.

It’s the same for us. We know that serving Jesus is an honor and blessing, because He’s the One who loved us so much He died and rose for us. It doesn’t really matter whether we enjoy doing the particular thing He’s asked of us or not. We have the chance to love Him by our actions—and we are glad to take it.

WE PRAY: Dear Lord, I know how greatly You love me, and I love You back. Use me as You see best. Amen.

Reflection Questions:

Who loves and trusts you so much they wouldn’t even need to ask if they needed your help?
Why would you come through for those people?
What service has God trusted you with, knowing you’ll do it for love of Him?

HOW?

And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the Child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” (Luke 1:34-37)

I love the simplicity of how Mary answers the angel. She doesn’t argue, she doesn’t doubt, she just asks “How?” Because Mary knows where babies come from, and she knows that virgins don’t normally get pregnant. And so she wants to know what God’s plans are. Should she move up the wedding date, or what?

The angel recognizes that she’s being practical, not doubting, and he answers her in the same spirit. “No,” he says, “you don’t have to worry about the details. The Holy Spirit will handle this by miracle.” And he tells her about her relative Elizabeth, who is also pregnant when that shouldn’t be possible.

And so Mary is set free to be happy. She doesn’t have to do anything. She can simply accept this wonderful Gift from God—His own Son!—and rejoice in Him. And we can do the same—relax and be happy, because Jesus has come to be born and to live and to die and to rise, all to make us His own.

WE PRAY: Lord, I’m so glad You handle everything. You have given me all that I need. Thank You. Amen.

Reflection Questions:

If you were in Mary’s place and the angel gave you that kind of news, what would you have said? Why?
If God is in control, do we need to worry?
How can we learn to trust Him?

“FAVOR WITH GOD”

And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a Son, and you shall call His Name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (Luke 1:30-33)

The angel started out by calling Mary “favored one,” and he repeats it again just a second later: “You have found favor with God.” It’s obviously important if he keeps saying it to her! What does this word “favor” mean?

I looked it up in the Greek, and it’s the same word we translate as “grace” elsewhere. Mary is about to receive a wonderful blessing from God—she will be the mother of Jesus our Savior. And she’s receiving that gift, not because she has earned it in any way—but rather because God is gracious and full of lovingkindness, and His goodness overflows onto her, freely and abundantly.

That’s true for us, too, isn’t it? We have found favor with God, not because of anything we’ve done, but because of Jesus, our Savior—the One who loves us so deeply He even laid down His life for us. Yes, and He rose from the dead so that He could share His own everlasting life with us who trust Him. He wants us with Him forever.

WE PRAY: Lord, it’s hard for me to believe You love me that much. Thank You. Amen.

When have you received something good in your life without earning or deserving it?
Why does Jesus love you so dearly?
How do you feel, knowing that you are one of God’s favored ones?

SURPRISE!

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. (Luke 1:26-29)

Dear Mary! What a shock that must have been, to see an angel, right in the middle of washing the laundry or feeding the chickens. And the way he greets her! “Favored one” and “The Lord is with you!” I wonder if she thought the angel got the wrong house?

She had good reason to wonder. After all, she knew her Bible. God had sent angels before to announce the birth of a child, but those had always gone to married women—often women in old age! Virgins didn’t get that kind of visit—until now.

But she listens. And she discovers that God is about to do something wonderful—for He is sending His own Son into human flesh, and He’s going to use Mary herself to make it possible.

As a result, we too are “favored”—all because God gave us Jesus, who became our Savior through His suffering and death—and who rose from the dead to give us life. Now “the Lord is with you” is something God can say to Mary and to all of us who trust in Jesus—for He has promised never to leave us.

WE PRAY: Dear Father, thank You for sending Your Son! Amen.

HIDDEN

And when his [Zechariah’s] time of service was ended, he went to his home. After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying, “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.” (Luke 1:23-25)

I wonder why Elizabeth kept herself hidden for five months. Was it only that she wanted to be sure there would be no miscarriage? Somehow that doesn’t quite fit to me. Elizabeth shows no signs of doubting God’s promise to give them a son.

Maybe she just didn’t want to deal with the reactions her neighbors would give her when they heard of the pregnancy. Because people have all sorts of opinions, and they offer them freely, often too freely.

But I suspect that for Elizabeth, this has a lot more to do with seeking God—with thinking over what He has given her, and thanking Him, and making plans for the future. Certainly being John’s mother was going to be a major task. This baby would prepare the way for Jesus Himself! She must have spent many hours thinking about that—both what John would do, and what Jesus was coming to do.

Because it’s right there in the Scripture—that God Himself was coming into our human race, to make Himself one of us, and to rescue us from sin and death. And He would do it the hard way—not through acts of royal power, but through His own shameful death on a cross, and then rising to life again. Did Elizabeth realize this, as she thought and prayed?

Maybe someday we’ll get to ask.

WE PRAY: Dear God, thank You for coming Yourself to be our Savior. Amen.

Reflection Questions:

What do you do before you start a major life task?
How will John’s work help Jesus’ ministry?

GOD’S SENSE OF HUMOR

And the angel answered him [Zechariah], “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” (Luke 1:19-20)

I love God’s sense of humor expressed through the angel Gabriel. Because He could have gotten mad, couldn’t He? But He doesn’t. He simply reminds Zechariah of the facts of the case—“Hey, you’re talking to an angel. Right here, see? I stand in the presence of God? Right. So why are you doubting me?”

And then God gives Zechariah the extra “sign” he was asking for, the answer to his doubtful “How will I know this?” “Fine,” says the angel on God’s behalf, “if you want a sign that badly, you can be mute for the next nine months. Will that do you?”

I think of my own husband the pastor, and I wonder. Would he survive for nine months with no voice? What a discipline for a preacher, poor man!

But the discipline is a loving one—for Zechariah will indeed see God’s promise come true, and he will see his son John born, the first visible, touchable sign of God’s coming into the world. For John is Jesus’ forerunner, and he goes before the One who is both God and Man, who will give Himself up into death to save the world—and who will rise from the dead to give life to all of us.

WE PRAY: Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for Your patience with me when I am slow to believe—and thank You for loving me anyway. Amen.

DOUBTFUL

And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” (Luke 1:18)

I have a hard time blaming Zechariah for his reaction. I mean, here he is, an old man, who has been praying for a son for most of his life. I wouldn’t be surprised if that prayer has turned into something automatic by now—something the asker no longer really expects God to take seriously, because it’s just been too long.

But God does take Zechariah’s prayer seriously. He tells him it’s happening now, this very year. And Zechariah—well, I can’t help wondering if he really wants this gift by now! Maybe he is suddenly thinking of screaming babies, and broken nights, and the endless tasks involved in raising a child! After all, he isn’t young anymore.

I’m glad God is patient and has a sense of humor—not just with Zechariah but with us. Because we, too, have our moments when God answers us and shatters our cozy little world, and we just can’t cope. Even when it’s something good, something we’ve been begging for—suddenly we see all the downsides, and well, we fail to rise to the occasion.

Thank God He knows we are like that, and He loves us anyway. God doesn’t give up on Zechariah, or take away the gift He’s promised him. And He doesn’t give up on us either. How could He—the One who died and rose to make us His own dearly beloved family?

WE PRAY: Lord, thank You that You’re patient with me when You do something new in my life, and I pull back in fear and doubt. Help me to trust You! Amen.

SUDDEN GIFT

Now while he [Zechariah] was serving as priest … there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him … But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great before the Lord.” (Luke 1:8a, 11-12a, 13-15a)

What a gift God is giving to Zechariah and Elizabeth! After hundreds of years of silence, God is finally acting as He did in the old days—sending a miracle baby to people past the age of childbearing, and giving that baby a mission. And what is that mission? To “turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, … to make ready for the Lord a people prepared” (Luke 1:16b,17b).

Prepared for what? Why, for God Himself to come into our world—to insert Himself into the human race as one of us, a true human being, who comes to live and to die and to rise again, all in order to rescue us from the powers of evil. Zechariah’s son John will prepare the way for that to happen—for Jesus to become our Savior.

What an amazing gift! And God has given Zechariah the privilege of being part of it. And He has given us the privilege of knowing about it, and rejoicing in it, and welcoming Jesus as our own Savior.

WE PRAY: Thank You, dear Lord, for coming to us. What a gift You are to me! Amen.

IN THE DAYS OF HEROD

In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. (Luke 1:5-7)

Luke starts his story on a grim note. Because “the days of Herod” are more than just a date marker. They are a reminder that Judea was ruled by a mad king—a man who saw enemies everywhere, and even killed his own wife and children when he thought they were plotting against him. He was not a safe man to have in power. Those were dark days.

They were even darker for Zechariah and Elizabeth because of personal grief. Although they loved God and walked in His ways, they were never able to have children, and now they were facing old age. Was God punishing them? No doubt the neighbors thought so—it’s the kind of thing people always say. And that would make life even darker.

But in the middle of this darkness, God was preparing to send light. He was about to send His own Son Jesus, the Light of the world, into the world as a human being. Jesus was coming to save us all through His suffering, death, and resurrection. And Zechariah and Elizabeth’s son would prepare the way for Him.

God had not forgotten them. He hasn’t forgotten us, either.

WE PRAY: Dear Father, You see the darkness in my life. Send me the light of Your Son Jesus. Amen.

EMBEDDED

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Matthew 1:1)

One thing I really like about the book of Matthew is that it starts with a long list of Jesus’ ancestors. You might find that boring—I did, once—but it does this for me: It shows me that Jesus, even though He’s God Himself, is completely embedded in the human race.

I mean, look at the people He has in His family tree! I see one murderer and adulterer (David), one spy who married a prostitute (Salmon), and one king who practiced human sacrifice (Manasseh). I see a man who was called the “friend of God” even though his cowardice caused him to put his wife in danger twice (Abraham). I see a wise man who fell into idolatry (Solomon) and a good king who hung out with bad company, and nearly got himself killed that way (Jehoshaphat). I see a poor foreign girl who married a local landowner and became the great-grandmother of a king (Ruth). I see a man who gave in to the urge to show off and doomed his country (Hezekiah) and another one who had the chance to ask God for any miracle he wanted, and actually turned the offer down (Ahaz). This is a wild group of people to have in your family tree!

And Jesus is embedded into this mosaic. Which means He’s embedded into us, the human race—the sometimes glorious, sometimes sick-and-sorry group of sinners Jesus came to save through His death and resurrection.

WE PRAY: Lord, I’m glad You came so close to us. Thank You, and please stay with me! Amen.

Does your family tree contain unusual people?

A NEW THING

The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Mark 1:1)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1, 14)

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. (Matthew 1:18a)

At Christmas we celebrate the time God did something absolutely new, something nobody had ever heard before. As human beings, we are used to gods who rule heaven and earth … powerful gods who demand to be worshipped … gods who expect people to sacrifice to them. Every nation on earth has a god like that.

But who has a God like this one, who comes down from heaven to become a Man Himself? Who becomes a baby, lying in a manger, worshipped by shepherds. Who has a God who humbles Himself to serve, not to be served, and to give His life as a ransom for many? Who has a God who suffers and dies on a cross, and then rises to live again forever—all so that He can share that everlasting life with anyone who trusts in Him?

We do. We have that God—because He has made us His own. And this God who made us and redeemed us now calls us to trust Him.

WE PRAY: Dear Lord, as I hear the story of Your coming once again, let Your Holy Spirit give me true faith in You. Amen.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means

karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
