Luke 1.49,50 - Homeless Holy Family

At the dawn of Advent let us remember our Lord had no where to lay His head. He was “the long-expected Messiah,” but Mary and Joseph never asked to host Him! Nazareth had unwed mom’s before, but none claimed innocent virginity. As the stunned couple navigated doubts of family and friends, they were summoned to David’s city – a hundred kilometers while heavy with child. The holy parents were surprised, the holy city was shuttered. The Savior of the world knocked on locked doors. Only the cows heard His cries. Like our Lord, His church today can be helpless, homeless, and harassed. But his mom learned her Son can always be trusted, “He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation” (Luke 1.49,50). Hear our cry, Lord Jesus!
