Luke 1:26-38
Teaching
Mary had to know that sooner or later, somebody would be Chosen as the vessel of God's very highest purpose. She must have realized that somebody would be chosen to bring the Messiah into the world, that somebody would be most blessed among all women.But she couldn't have known that, from the beginning of time, God had His eye on her as that somebody. He had prepared her for bearing, then rearing, the One who would be the Savior of the world.
This woman of Faith responded with alarm when an angel of the Lord told her she had found Favour with God and would give birth to the baby Jesus. "How can this be?" she asked. "I'm a virgin!"
A legitimate question!
In short, the messenger answered, "With God, all things are possible. He has chosen you and honored you as the one to give birth to the Son of God."
And Mary's response? "I am the Lord's servant! May everything you have said come true."
There may be times when we as Christians ask, "How can this be?" or wonder how God could do something like this through us. These are but questions we ask because in our own view and the world it is not possible, or it is a mistake. But know this God never makes mistakes and He dose not choose the perfect but He perfects the chosen. You are a candidate of greatness by His grace. So when God calls you or assign a task on your life, do not look at the disabilities you have, the disadvantages you, your past, what people are saying because God has already ordained and qualified you, so all those various reason do not matter. So as a wise Christian when He calls, you will respond the way Mary did: "I am Your servant! May it be as You have said!"
