We have read prophesies about Jesus, and we have read about the work of John the Baptist. In earlier weeks, we read that John would proclaim, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29), when he saw Jesus. Apparently, John could not wait until he was born to start declaring who Jesus was. Even in the womb, he had awareness of the presence of his Savior. Elizabeth, feeling her son’s excitement and knowing that what was happening was the fulfillment of God’s promises, encouraged Mary’s active faith. What does active faith look like for you? Do you need to be more vocal in proclaiming it?
