The Magnificat — Part Two

by Alistair Begg

Luke 1:46–56
 (ID: 3071)

In the first chapter of his Gospel account, Luke recorded Mary’s song of praise to God, sometimes called the “Magnificat.” Alistair Begg explains how this song illuminates the reason for Jesus’ incarnation: God’s love for fallen humanity. We are challenged to acknowledge that our significance depends on His mercy, not our own merits. Will we trust trust this loving, merciful God with our hearts and lives?
