What is the 'magnificat?'

The 'magnificat' is the name that we give to Mary's song in Luke 1, in which she declares that her soul 'magnifies the Lord.' In today's study, we will see that this is one of the most counter-cultural songs ever written.

Questions That We'll Answer:

1) In Luke 1, what news did the Angel give Mary? What was her response?

2) Why was it necessary that the Messiah be born of a 'virgin?'

3) What makes the 'magnificat' so counter-cultural? What does it declare?
