Luke 1:25 ‘The Lord has done this for me,’ she said. ‘In these days he has shown his favour and taken away my disgrace among the people.’
It is not nice to have anyone look down on you for something you have done wrong – worse still when it affects your family too.
When Jesus came into the world in Human form – it was not with all the pomp and ceremony we expect of a king coming into town but surrounded by doubt and even shame.
God wanted us to see we are going to be accepted by Him no matter where in life we are or how bad we think our lives are.
It is our personal relationship with Him which counts!
