INSIDE OUT

Luke 1:39  In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 

Luk 1:40  and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 

Luk 1:41  And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 

Luk 1:42  and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 

Elizabeth was pregnant 6 months with John the Baptist who was filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb

Luke 1:15  for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 

Jesus was in the womb of Mary and when she came to Elizabeth the baby John leaped in her. The Holy Spirit in John was aware of Jesus in the womb. Jesus is the Son of God who came from heaven to identify in every way what it is like to be human. Even in the earliest stages of physical development John recognized the presence of Jesus in the womb of Mary. Not only this, but as a result of this encounter John's mother was filled with the Holy Spirit.

This is a real example of the sacredness of a baby in the mother's womb. The women are blessed by the children. They are sacred vessels to bring forth life. May all the children see Jesus at an early age and be filled with the Holy Spirit. May we by the Spirit see Jesus who came in a human body to give his life in our place, so that we may live with him. Jesus overcame death and lives forever. Chose life with Jesus.
