Why did Mary break into song in Luke 1? Because she realized that centuries of waiting were finally giving way to fulfillment. Her Magnificat isn’t just a poetic outburst — it’s a declaration that God’s long-promised salvation had arrived, the great reversal had begun, and history had pivoted around the arrival of Jesus.
In this teaching, we explore:
• How the Old Testament is a story of waiting
• Why Mary understood she was at a hinge point in history
• The deep Old Testament echoes inside the Magnificat
• How Jesus’ ministry launches the “upside-down Kingdom”
• Why we still wait — and how to wait with hope
This is a message of anticipation, fulfillment, and patience as we prepare for Advent and reflect on God’s unstoppable work from generation to generation.
