This week, Chris expressed how worship is the response of Mary in the Christmas story. Mary was a 12-13 years old in a small, no-name town and she likely knew what it was like to be hungry and poor. The angel Gabriel brought her good news of great joy that would change her life. She would be the mother of the Messiah. There were two possible responses for Mary at this news – one of great worship and one of great worry. Mary responds with the Magnificat.
