In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. —Luke 1:26-27
Mary’s Gift to Us
No matter who
The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
—Luke 1:28-33
No matter what
“The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” —Psalm 118:6
“I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you.” —Hebrews 13:5“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on 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. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.”
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. —Luke 1:34-38
No matter what God
What promises of God are you tempted to doubt?
“Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.
Do you believe this?” —John 11:26And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. —Romans 8:28
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” —1 John 5:14
Mary’s Gift to Us
No matter who you are, the Lord will use you.
No matter what problems you face, God will be with you.
No matter what He has promised, the Lord can do it.
Benediction
