The story of how the angel Gabriel came to Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, and told her that she would bear a son, to be named Jesus. He would be the Promised One long awaited by the people of Israel. For contemporary believers, the passage serves as a reminder of the grace and forgiveness available to us through faith in Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that our salvation is not dependent on our own efforts or works, but on the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. This is the way God see’s your problem. Turn what faith you hav loose in the middle of this great promise and go on to victory. Father, I look to Your Word, and I pray that You will meet the need of this person reading this, no matter how hopeless it may appear, thank you in the precious name of Jesus Amen.
It reads in Luke 1:26-38 EASY
When Elizabeth’s baby had grown inside her for nearly six months, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth. Nazareth is a town in Galilee. Gabriel went there to visit a young woman. Her name was Mary. She had never had sex with anyone. She had promised to marry a man called Joseph. He belonged to the family of King David. Gabriel went to Mary and said, ‘Hello, Mary. The Lord God loves you very much. He is very near to you.’ Mary had a lot of problems in her mind about Gabriel’s message. She did not understand what he meant. Then Gabriel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary. God has been kind to you. Listen! A baby boy will grow inside you. When he is born, you will call him Jesus. He will be great. People will call him the Son of the powerful God who is over all. The Lord God will make him king. He will rule as his ancestor King David ruled. He will rule over the family of Jacob for all time. He will be king for all time, without end.’ Mary asked, ‘How can this happen? I have never had sex with anyone.’ Gabriel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come to you. The power of God who is over all will cover you like a shadow. So your child will be special to God. He will be completely good. He will be called God’s Son. Another thing! Your cousin, Elizabeth, is very old. People said that she could not have a baby. Listen! She also will have a son. The baby has grown inside her now for nearly six months. There is nothing that God cannot do.’ Mary answered, ‘I am the servant of the Lord. I have heard what you have said. I want it to happen to me just like that.’ Then the angel left her.
