Introduction: Here is a brief summary of the Sunday message delivered by Rev. Abhijit Shome.
Key Points:
Dependence on God:
It depends not upon us, but on God whether He chooses us or not. As stated in Luke 1:28, "You are highly favored."
When God chooses someone, their life is not going to be the same or easy.
The Moment God Chose Mary:
When God chose Mary, her life was transformed. There are three things God wants from our lives when He chooses us:
Sacrifice: A sacrificial life. There were many women in Mary's family, but God chose her because she was ready to sacrifice (Matthew 13:45-46).
Submission: Submit to God. Submission may be painful, but we must submit our fears to God (Hebrews 11:6).
Selfless Life: Jesus Christ lived a selfless life, and we are called to do the same.
Scriptural References:
Luke 1:26-33: The announcement of Jesus' birth to Mary.
Matthew 13:45-46: The parable of the pearl of great value.
Hebrews 11:6: "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."
These highlights capture the essence of Rev. Abhijit Shome's sermon, emphasizing the importance of God's revelation and the transformative power of being chosen by Him. 😊
May God bless you and have a blessed day. 😊
