Luke 1:26-38
Picture yourself at a holiday gathering. Your family has gotten
together. You remind yourself to remember the rules; certain topics are taboo
and must be avoided! Keep the peace, you tell yourself, don’t bring anything
controversial into the conversation; that’s not allowed. Certainly don’t bring
Jesus into it! Heavens no!
Do we really think it’s too risky to bring Jesus into a conversation? Think of
Mary, she brought Jesus into the world! The cost of her willingness was high,
but her sacrifice is beautiful. This weekend we’ll read the account of her
conversation with the angel, Gabriel. Luke 1:26-38 records his visit.
Read it in advance and come to worship with us this weekend. I’m really excited
to present this message. My preparation has been an absolute joy!
