We meet two great women at the beginning of Luke. The older woman comes first, Elisabeth. She was a person who was blameless before God and right-living before everyone else. She had been that way all along, which leads us to the second woman, Mary. She was very young and also holy before God. Her morality was according to the will of God and put her in perfect position to become the mother of God’s only begotten just as Elisabeth was to become the mother of His forerunner. The lesson is simple—holy women are holy because of their own decisions and because of God’s decision to compliment them: “Well done” (Matthew 25:14-30).
