My Soul Magnifies the Lord: Meditations on the Meaning of Christmas

by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.... For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. --Luke 1:46-49 This song of praise burst forth from Mary's heart as she began to understand her role in the Savior's arrival on Earth. Her joyful declaration of Christ's incarnation can be our own, bringing us face to face with many of the wonders of our salvation. Discover the joy of celebrating His birth every day of the year in this enlightening exposition of the Magnificat of Mary. Renowned preacher Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones looks at the characteristics of the words she uttered and their significance in her--and your--understanding of the greatness of God and His works. As you see how her praise reveals the wisdom and faithfulness of God and reflects the experience of coming to Christ, your soul will magnify the Lord, singing, Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift.

About the author

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London. Lloyd-Jones was strongly opposed to Liberal Christianity, which had become a part of many Christian denominations; he regarded it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to leave their existing denominations. He believed that true Christian fellowship was possible only amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was married to Bethan Lloyd-Jones

The Gospel.

From page 79:

"The Incarnation is the final proof of the faithfulness of God, the guarantee that His every promise will be completely fulfilled."
