SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE

 

Luke 1:29-33

 

"But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.'" ESV

 

Gabriel's visit to Mary was just as surprising and troubling to her as it would have been had he visited you or me. He told her she would be giving birth to the Savior of the world.

 

Heavenly Father, help us to always remember that You speak to us in many ways, at the least expected moments, and with astounding messages. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

He did it! He lived a life without sin. He showed us the way
to the Father. He fulfilled the purpose He came to do. He gave
His life by dying in the most terrible and degrading way. He gave
it all. And He conquered it! It is done. It is finished. He is alive
and we are set free from sin. Hallejuah!

Read Matthew 28: 5,6

"The angel said to the woman, 'Do not be afraid for I know that
you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He
has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where he lay."
(NIV)

"And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:
for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here:
for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
(KJV)
