Christmas and the Generations
Christmas celebrations often span generations: grandma and grandpa perched on the couch watching the kids play; mum and dad preparing a feast for young and old. It's a beautiful contrast to the instant world we live in – a family that has grown over many decades into the web of relationships and love that exists today. God has always worked across the generations – faithfully gathering, rescuing and leading his people – He’s in it for the long haul. Mary's song magnifies God by looking generations into the past and generations into the future and celebrating how God faithfully and mercifully lifts up the humble. And we are those generations that Mary looked forward to! This Christmas we can rejoice in (and magnify) the God who is faithful forever.
