You will have plenty of time, we will not mail until after New Year 2019

Take your time and read. I chose 6 questions you may clickhere for the internet site this study is based on.

*1. Read Luke 1:26-45. Make a list of at least six characteristics of Mary’s that you discern from this passage.

*2. Luke 1:46-56; 1 Samuel 2:1-10. Note the similarities. What does this tell us about Mary? What does her song tell us about her knowledge of God? List some of His attributes that she mentions.

*3. John 19:25-27. What does Mary’s presence at the cross tell us about her? What does this incident tell us about Jesus as a son? Why did he commit her care to John and not to one of her sons?

*4. What does 1:55 refer to? See Genesis 12:1-3.

12:1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household to the land that I will show you.12:2 Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great, so that you will exemplify divine blessing.12:3 I will bless those who bless you, but the one who treats you lightly I must curse, so that all the families of the earth may receive blessing through you.”

*5. Matthew 1:18-24. What kind of man was Joseph? Describe his character. What could he have done when he found Mary was pregnant, Deut 22:23-24? What shadow did Mary live under all of her life, John 8:41?

6.What qualities of this godly woman would you like to have? What steps do you need to take to begin to develop them? Be specific. Have short-term and long-term goals.
