Weekly Devotional

Luke 1:52-53
52 He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty.
 
Mary’s song tells of the kind of world that her child, Jesus, will usher into existence: one where the people she knew who were poor and hungry would never have to fear again. She prophesied how Jesus would overthrow the corrupt systems of the world that made sure that powerful people could get away with anything, that he would bring down the powers that conspired to keep oppressed people down. She prophesied revolution.
 
How does this revolutionary Mary help us today? How does she point us to what God is calling us to do in the world? There are still people who are poor and lowly, still people who hunger and thirst, people who are denied justice. There are still people on top who have no interest in giving up power for the sake of justice and righteousness. Mary’s song is just as relevant to us now as it was when she first sang it.
 
She sings of hope for the immigrant caged in Texas, fleeing violence in their home country, that God will lift them up and give them a home in safety. She sings of hope for the starving in Yemen, that bombs will cease to fall and the needy will be fed. She sings of hope for the oppressed Uighur in China, denied the right to worship and corralled into camps, that they will not be denied justice.
 
And she sings of overthrow. She sings of the collapse of hoarded wealth. She sings of the destruction of inhumane policies for the other. She sings of an end to war that only benefits the powerful. Mary sings of revolution that brings peace to the whole earth, because she knew the child she carried in her womb was holy.
 
May we be inspired by Mary this season. May we take up the mantle of revolution, to proclaim the thrones cast down and the humble lifted up high; to sing of banquets for the hungry before the wealthy who exploited them. May we trust the Christ child as much as she did, that “in his name all oppression shall cease,” and the world be made right, and God’s kingdom made known.
