Mary Gets the News: Luke 1:26-38
Luke 1:26-38
Being told you are pregnant, by a pregnancy test, a doctor
or even an angel, comes with a mixture of feelings: joy, dread, shock, worry, hope, fear, nausea. Modern women who faithfully and carefully
used birth control can identify with Mary’s response “How can this be?” “That’s impossible.” Nothing is impossible with God. Sometimes we think that quote goes nothing is
impossible for God. The implication of
that phrase is that God can do anything, even change the laws of nature. Nothing is impossible with God means that no
matter what nature, or life, throws at us, whether expected or unexpected, whether
understood or impossible to explain, with God there is nothing we can’t
handle. “Let it be to me according to
your word.” It is what it is, so let’s
get on with it. There is no reason for
us not to be hopeful that we can face our collective problems and find good and
faithful solutions. Nothing is impossible
as long as we live and love and act with God.
