Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 A few days later Mary hurried to the hill country of Judea, to the town 40 where Zechariah lived. She entered the house and greeted Elizabeth. 41 At the sound of Mary’s greeting, Elizabeth’s child leaped within her, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed. 43 Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me? 44 When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. 45 You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.”
Zechariah couldn’t tell her. He was still speechless at this time.
Mary didn’t tell her. There were no long distance phone lines, no email or text messaging.
At the sound of Mary’s voice, things started to happen with Elizabeth. Her unborn baby leaped in her womb. The Holy Spirit filled her and somehow she knew what was happening with Mary.
It had to be God. I guess we could call this Holy Spirit ‘instant messaging’.
