Apologetic Short Take #1: Elizabeth on the Mother of God

In the first chapter of Luke, Mary goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth and upon her arrival, Elizabeth exclaims...

And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Luke 1:43)

Elizabeth did not ask how it was that the Mother of her nephew had come to her. Elizabeth did not ask how it was that the mother of Jesus of Nazareth had come to her. Elizabeth did not ask how it was that the mother of an ordinary human being had come to her. Elizabeth asked how it was that the mother of "HER LORD" had come to her.

No, Elizabeth did not understand how it was that the mother of her Lord should come to her but she she undersood this much; the mother of her Lord, the Ark of the New Covenant, had just come to her.

Elizabeth knew this - God himself was inside Mary's womb and the Mother of God had just walked through her front door.
