In the song Mary sang, she testifies that her soul
magnifies the Lord (v. 46). This statement speaks of
her disposition to celebrate God. Just like many hymns
in the Psalms, she will unveil the reason for praising God.
In verse 48, she is praising God because He decided to use
a woman to bless His people. He has decided to use a very
humble woman from a background that none would have
expected to be a blessing to all generations (1 Cor 1:26-
29). When Mary says that "from now on all generations
will call her blessed," she is pointing to the fact that all
generations will recognize that through her came the son
of promise who will be a blessing to all generations. She is
not saying that all generations will worship her but that all
generations will never talk about Jesus Christ without
mentioning the virgin birth, thus talking about her.

It is unfortunate that many people have instead decided to
worship the mother and have forgotten about the son.
Even Mary, in her song, called Jesus her savior (v. 47). She
was just a vessel that God used to bless His people.
