“Let it be to me according to your word.” Luke 1:38
This is what Mary the mother of Jesus said to the Heavenly Father when asked to be the vessel used to bring forth the Savior Jesus Christ.
Has the Lord given any one else so great a responsibility?
At first thought you may say no.
However upon reflection you will see, that all are called to give our lives to a higher calling just as Mary did, to be a vessel in which the Lord lives and gives light to a world in darkness.
All are called to share the light given for Christ and His love. Hebrews 3:14
Yes, Mary was to be one of the repairers in the breach.
Yet when God sent His son to seek the lost, to heal the lame and to give sight to the blind. While He was here – He called upon the disciples to be partakers, who then were given charge to go out into ALL the world and proclaim the good news – the message of Gods love to ALL people.
To co-labor in the work of Salvation, is to bring ALL to the foot of the cross.
He came to save by giving us the truth in darkness (which gives sight) to speak truth in a place of caos ( hearing the word) and invite men to be fishers of men instead of slaves to this life, this would be Him giving us the JOY of knowing Jesus in our hearts (the lame to dance).
Remember the birth of Jesus when the Angel said to the shepherds, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great JOY which will be to ALL people.
So it is, that we also are to be repairers in the way, which means to aide in the return to truth and righteousness.
Seeking to restore the principles that are the foundations of the kingdom of God.
We are to deliver the good news which will help to repair the breach that has been made against God’s law – the wall that He has placed around His chosen ones for their protection, and obedience to whom precepts of justice, truth, and purity is to be their continuous safe guard.
His promise to us is to help to guide us in all truth continually, to satisfy us in a land of drought, and to strengthen us with a foundation in which we stand on His word.
We will be like a well cared for garden, like a spring whose waters do not fail. If we would surrender our lives to His calling.
When Mary said “let it be done as you say” she was giving her life to His call, to obey and follow Him wherever it would lead her. What we know of Mary’s story is one who helped to raise God’s son by trusting in the plans of the Heavenly Father.
She had to surrender her will and trust in His provision along the way. It is no different for us today. Allowing Christ the Lord, Jesus the King of Kings into our lives to live in our hearts that He would work in us our salvation is how it works.
The rest of the parts were for Him to provide.
It was He who gave life, taught and trained Jesus the boy to be the Christ and it was Him who laid down His own life to save ALL.
We have a choice, do we continue to live for self or do we say those words, ” here I am Lord send me, let it be done as you say.”
It is my prayer daily that I will answer this call and I pray you all will too.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling. Eph 4:4
In Christ Love, Amen
