Luke 1:39–56 Mary’s Song: The God Who Sees Us
Excerpt
When God comes, he does so not in power, riches, and glory, but in humble obscurity, "despised and rejected.” Why? Mary knows. He does it out of mercy. He does it because he has seen us. Had he come as a great king, as a conquering warrior, with piles of gold and armies and beautiful garments, he would still be remote, distant, and unapproachable. But instead he comes all the way down into our darkness. "Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.”
