Come Home to
Luke 1:26-38
“Nine months of awkward explanations, the lingering scent of scandal—it seems that God arranged the most humiliating circumstances possible for his entrance, as if to avoid any charge of favoritism. I am impressed that when the Son of God became a human being he played by the rules, harsh rules: small towns do not treat kindly young boys who grow up with questionable paternity.”

“She was the first person to accept Jesus on his own terms, regardless of the personal cost.”

The Angel said, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So, the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God… For nothing is impossible with God.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered, “May it be to me as you have said.” - Luke 1:35 & 37 (NIV)
