Receiving Jesus – Duane Garner
Luke 2:46-55
When Mary, the mother of our Lord, was greeted by her relative Elizabeth, she broke in to song over the great blessing that God had bestowed upon her. Mary, in a significant way, was the first to receive Jesus, and in her boundless display of gratitude and joy through her song she demonstrates to all of us how we are to receive Jesus.
Today, we consider the proper posture of the recipient of good blessings and we explore the causes for our lack of gratitude and joy at the prospect of receiving the good gifts of God.
