The Great Announcement

The greatest announcement in the history of the world...prophesied in Isaiah 7:14, and then announced by the angel Gabriel in Luke 1:26-38 to Mary in a place called Nazareth, the news that she would bear a child, though still a virgin, and that this child would be the Messiah. Then the child, Jesus, was born as related in Luke 2:1-7 and finally, the announcement to the world in Luke 2:8-20.....the angel announced to lowly shepherds in the fields the birth of Jesus...the Messiah, Christ the Lord.

Though told that she, a virgin, would bear a child....Mary TRUST in God, ACCEPTS His grace and favor, BELIEVES and has FAITH. God so very often uses what we consider the "insignificant", insignificant places,insignificant people, to do such highly significant things......to fulfill His will....to change the world. The great truth is....nothing is impossible with God!
