He goes to a podunk town in an obscure -corner of a conquered nation, to a young woman with the same name as at least -three other women in the New Testatment, who was betrothed to carpenter. But -because of God's divine choice, this particular Mary was highly favored, chosen -to bring the long-awaited Messiah into the world. Out of a no-name village will -come the one who will reign over the house of Jacob forever, the King of Kings, -the Son of the Most High. - -When Mary gets over the shock of having an angel visit her to start asking for -details, she gets to know just how it will happen, but she also gets an extra -confirmation that it is true. Her relative Elizabeth is also going to have a -baby when everyone knew that couldn't happen. The unspoken assumption is that -Gabriel is inviting Mary to go see Elizabeth for herself, and know that God can -make anything happen. Wisely and humbly, Mary accepts the charge to be the -mother to God's Son. - -* * * - -Let us be ready to accept Your instruction at all times, even when it seems impossible.
