| His Coming Prepared: Announced by the Angel Gabriel |
|
Reflections: In this passage, Mary only asked one question. If an angel appeared to you and announced that you were going to have a baby, and you knew that you were a virgin…wouldn’t you ask more than one question? Wouldn’t you want to know a few more details? Don’t you think you might raise an objection or two? Mary’s faith is among the strongest of any person we meet in Scripture. She only asked Gabriel one question. After that, she simply replied, “I am the Lord’s servant. May it be to me as you have said.” Is there something going on in your life that you need to stop questioning? Instead of questions, is it time for you to approach it with acceptance? That doesn’t mean you have to like your situation. Acceptance doesn’t necessarily mean happiness. Mary couldn’t have been altogether thrilled about the prospect of being an unwed mother in her culture. But she accepted the will of God, regardless of her personal feelings. How can you follow her lead? |
