(M)erry Christmas

Mary

Luke 1:26-35
In a time that God had been silent to His people for over 400 years, God sent the angel Gabriel to a young woman in Nazareth to deliver what could be considered the most unbelievable message in all of recorded history. This young virgin was told that she would bear the Son of God. Did she scoff at the news? Did she send this heavenly messenger away in disbelief? No. She put her trust in the God who said that she was the one He wanted to use to bring His Son into the world. She didn't understand it all, but she didn't have to. She merely understood that God wanted to use her to bring salvation to the world, and she was willing to be God's servant.

Are we willing to be servants of the Most High God and to bring the good news of God's Salvation through Jesus Christ to the world? If we are, the same God who kept His promise to bring life through Mary will also bring life to the world through us.
