What Does Luke 1:42 Mean?
Filled with the Spirit, Elisabeth lifts her voice loud enough for heaven and the whole household to hear: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. She blesses mother and child together, the child above all.
The first human praise of the unborn Christ comes from an old woman moved by the Holy Ghost. Elisabeth, herself six months into a miracle, feels no envy — only blessing. Hearts the Spirit fills rejoice in what God is doing through others. Mary is honored precisely because of the One she carries.
