Let us rejoice in the Lord. Christmas remind us the coming of Jesus in the world for us. His coming makes us ‘the children of God’. Praise the Lord.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. ( please read Luke 1:39-56)
Inside of Mary was the Saviour of the world Jesus Christ, the Son of Heavenly Father and inside of Elizabeth was the prophet of Heavenly Father John the Baptist. When the two mothers meet, the baby John greeted His Lord Jesus Christ, both inside of their respective human mother. The greetings of the two babies made their mother filled with joy and greeted the two mothers with heavenly joy.
Inside of the believers of Jesus Christ lives the Holy Spirit. When the believers meet, the spirit in them rejoice and make the believers rejoice in the Lord.
May your joy in the Lord makes other believers rejoice in the Lord. May Almighty God bless you to be a source of inspiration for others.
May God bless you.

Mary Visits Elizabeth
At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Mary’s Song
And Mary said:“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home. (Luke 1:39-56)
