Called To Be a Vessel

the gospel of Luke is the most detailed accounting of Jesus Christ It reveals His conception, His early childhood and His missionary life In the gospel of Luke he tells about God's 2 part master plan to deliver a Messiah into Israel's hands the first part of the plan was to send an anointed blessing to Zachariah and Elizabeth for all their years of childless stressing a son was finally born to them whose mission would be one of preparation John the Baptist who would pave the way for the One coming to deliver salvation the second part of the plan was the supernatural conception of God's chosen one a virgin girl with a true faith to be the vessel for His earthly son Mary was her name and in her the Lord God had found favor the 2nd cousin to John the Baptist and now to become the mother of our Savior Mary went to her cousin Elizabeth and told her of the Angel's words at first she was anxious and troubled and then she thought it was absurd then Elizabeth said, look at me, I carry a miracle in my aged womb and if the Angel of God said that to you in your mind now make the room we are connected by blood and it makes perfect sense and sound reasoning that God would give us both a miracle in order to do what for Him is most pleasing and at that meeting the child in Elizabeth's womb received the Holy Spirit and jumped for joy the confirmation that Mary was the vessel chosen to bring forth God's little boy called to be a vessel Mary was the chosen one called to be a vessel to give life to God's only Son as God has a purpose and a mission for each of us and all He asks is that in His word we learn to trust for when God gives you a word the situation is already in place and when God gives you a word just accept His infinite wisdom and grace it might not make much sense to you but that's all right just do whatever God desires of you and be acceptable in His sight called to a vessel for in you God has found favor called to be a vessel because of your obedient behavior called to be a vessel by accepting God's purposeful hands when you're called to be a vessel to carry out the Lord's master plans
