Mary Visits Elizabeth
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this text, Steve Gregg examines the birth narratives of John the Baptist and Jesus, discussing Mary's visit to Elizabeth and the fulfillment of ancient prophesies. Mary is acknowledged as blessed among women due to her role as the mother of Jesus, and her response to her mission of bringing Jesus into the world shows her deep faith and acceptance of God's will. The passage also explores the prophecies of Zechariah and Malachi, which foretold the coming of John the Baptist and his role in preparing the way for Jesus as the means for people to have knowledge of salvation and remission of sins.
