“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph of thew house of David and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, with the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And behold thou shall conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest and the Lord God shall give into him the throne of his father David. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man. The angel answered and said unto her. The holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”
Luke 1: 26-38
The Promise of Mary’s Miracle
This passage from Luke is the story of the greatest miracle of all. It shows the awesome power of God and how he can use it in our lives, but we must believe in Him and let Him work. Stop and think about what has happened to Mary.
- She is expecting a baby and isn’t married
- Jewish culture at that time, women were seen as being no better than property
- Mary knew her life would not be what she expected it to be BUT she still offered herself to God
God chose Mary to give birth to his Son but she also had to bear the public shame of people not understanding what God was doing.
One day God will ask us to trust Him for something extraordinary. Will we be ready to say YES to God even when what he is asking seems impossible? If God can do such a miraculous thing in the life of Mary, just think what he can do in our own lives. We must have faith and trust the plan for our life.
