III. Narrative Conclusion (Luke 1:56).
.
Observing the W's: Who: There are not many main characters in the passage of Luke 1:46-56. Mary the main character of the passage was sing the song to Elizabeth. .
What: Mary is sing a song about God and the things that are to come and the special events that are about to happen in the world. .
When: The text does not give an exact date on when the song of Mary was sung. It was sung sometime between the six months of Elizabeth's pregnancy.
Where: The song was sung at Zechariah and Elizabeth's house.
Why: I believe that the son was sang to God to give him the glory and praise that Mary felt that he so much deserved. She wanted the people to know that the sacrifices given up by us are rewarded with the love of God. As she did sacrifice, staying a virgin is an honor. The lord blessed her with the greatest child in the world.
Research: In research, I found that the Song of Mary is considered a magnificent hymn. In Latin Vulgate translation the opening word is Magnificent which stands for the word glorifies. The Song is much like praise from the start and in a way is but is still considered a hymn. Mary says that "My soul glorifies the Lord", which in a sense shows the faith and devotion that she has in the lord. God says that his love and mercy extend to those who fear him. In the passage fear is meant to mean those who revere God and live with him in their minds and souls. .
Summary Statement: Mary wants us to look at see and ourselves if we are living our lives for the Lord or if we are being selfish and living our lives for ourselves.
