1. Mary at Naaarstti (Luka 1 28-88,
tt-06).
Mary was a Jo wish maid at tha
town of Nasarath. Tho Drat Informa
tion wa bava of bar la that aba waa
engaged to ba married to Joseph. a
carpenter of tbe aamo rtUaga It
eeema that tho custom among the
Jaw* waa tor betrothal (a taka place
a year before marriage During this
interval tba woman remained with bar
parents
L Gabriel Sant from God to Mary
(tv. 36-88). It waa during this Interval
of betrothal before Joaeph tad Mary
ware marriad that God tent tba angel
Gabriel to announce ante Mary that
>aha waa to bo tha mother of Jana
Isaiah, more thaa TOO year* before
prophesied that a vlrgla should give
birth tea son wboes name should be
called Immanuel (Isa. T :14J. Though
at first perplexed, aho accepted tbe
annunciation with remarkable courage
and devotion. To ba told that aba was
to baa mother waa nothing startling,
for thla was tba normal deelre of
every married Jewish womae Under
tba circumstance* aha accepted moth
erhood at a tremendous eoat She was
conscious of her vtrgtn purity. She
knew that to become a mother under
each ctrcumatances would trpms bar
to unutterable suspicion Sad shame.
This waa tha view that certain Java
took ef tha matter, for they tnstao
ated to Jaaua that He waa barn of
fornication (John 8:41). Her fstth
was inch that aba responded wtfb
noble couragu. She said, "Behold tha
handmaid of tba Lord; be It unto me
according to thy word" (Luka 1:88).
Z Her Wonderful Song (w. 46-66).
In her embarrassment sbe set out on
a visit to an elderly kinswoman named
Elisabeth. Having sought tba sympa
thy and encouragement ef this Mead,
bar triumphant faith carried bar be
yond tha misunderstanding, tba acorn
and shame which awaited bar, and
caused bar aoul to buret out in this
moat wonderful song of praise.
11. Mary at Bethlehem (Luka 8:1-20).
What Gabriel announced to Ma 7
was now being fulfilled. Caesar’s de
cree concerning taxation brought Jos
eph and Mary to Bethlehem at tba
opportune time for tha fulfillment ef
Micah 5:2. Because ef tba crowded
condition of tba Inn, tba birth ef tha
world's Saviour took placa In a cave-
Mable.
111. Mary In Jerusalem and Galilee
(Luke 2:41-62).
Jesus, now at tba age ef twelve.
was a child of tba law, for at this age
tpa child took his responsibility an a
worshiper.
L Failure In Vigilant Oars (▼. 48).
They bad left tba city and gone a
whole day’s Journey without knowing
where tha child wan.
2. Failure to Understand Fully
Jesua* Action and Word* (v. 80). Me
particular censure should attach to
this, aa It Is beyond eur ability even
now to understand all these things.
3. Failure ta Properly Sympathise
with Jesus* Deepest Longings and
Emotions. "Haw la it that ye sought
ms? Wist yo not that I most bo about
my Father’s business V
4. Failure to Perceive Her Limit of
Masterfulness. Tba time comes wbea
duty to God takes precedence over
duty to patents. All these limitations
should bo viewed with tbe background
of her deop devotion to God. Bor
whole life was lived In a spiritual at
mosphere. Bbo was Just tbe bind of
woman to whom God would trust tho
upbringing of Hla Son. Jesus wont
back with them to Nasareth and was
subject unto them.
IV. Mary at tho Croat (John 19:25
)•
This was a great trial For any
mother to aaa bar sob dls Is a trial,
hut what must It bava bean far this
mother la tba face of all tba sacred
memories that clung to bar soul) It
