The Sound and the Joy: Shared Worship in the Holy Spirit
“Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” Elizabeth proclaims, her gratitude overflowing as she acknowledges the divine presence within Mary. This was divine revelation, not earthly explanation. Elizabeth knows. She recognizes the Messiah in Mary’s womb, calling Him “my Lord.” Elizabeth’s loud cry confirmed everything the angel had told her and John the Baptist, already filled with the Spirit as promised, began his prophetic ministry, announcing Christ even before his birth. This encounter was no ordinary meeting; it was the Spirit of God at work, revealing truth, stirring joy, and igniting faith.
