C. God's Promise to Israel
Gen. 3:15 --> Gen. 12:1-3 --> 2 Sam. 7:12-16 --> Jer. 31:31-34
Old Covenant & Promises --> New Covenant & Promises
D. God's Promise to Us
What God does in the life of Elizabeth is a preview of what God will do in the life of many others through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. There are three things we can gather from God's dealing with Elizabeth in removing shame and bestowing honor:
1. God sees us, 2. God hears us, 3. God loves us.
God is always actively working out of sovereign love. If God so intricately orchestrated the birth of our Savior then, how can He not be so intimately involved in our lives now?
