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.
