Summary

In contrast with the regal adornment she wears in medieval art, Mary acknowledges in her inspired song, the Magnificat, that God has looked on her “humble estate,” not on her worldly dignity or righteousness (Luke 1:46–55). In this episode, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller explore the story of Mary, just another Jewish girl from a nondescript family who became the mother of God.
