My paraphrase of Luke 1: 46 - 55 Mary's Magnificat



And Mary said,
My entire being lifts God up to where God belongs and celebrates that God is my saviour. 
God is giving me such an incredible opportunity even though the world considers me to be poor and unworthy. 
From today on and always people will remember me as one who has been truly blessed by God because of this amazing gift God has given me and the many wonderful things God has done for me.  God is most holy indeed.
God is kind to those who respect God no matter what age we live in. 
God is very mighty and has brought down those who thought that they were better than others.
God has the authority needed to make those in power to be weak and to make the weak to be in power.
God will make those who are hungry for food, knowledge, or faith full with those good things – those who are rich however will not receive any of this from God. 
God has helped me, God’s servant, to remember all the kind things God has always done for me – just like God said God would in God’s promise to my ancestors all the way back to Abraham and continuing to the far future.
Luke 1: 46 – 55 my paraphrase

Sermon: Are you worthy of God's love?

Luke 7:1-17                After Jesus had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave whom he valued highly, and who was ill and close to death. When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, ‘He is worthy of having you do this for him, for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.’ And Jesus went with them, but when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, ‘Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word, and let my servant be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, “Go”, and he goes, and to another, “Come”, and he comes, and to ...
