Luke 26-38 Summary- Next time will look at verses 39-56
Again we are going to be in the book of Luke 1 to continue the events of Jesus' birth.
Starting in verse 26 and going too verse 39 we read about Mary. What do we learn about Mary in these verses?
Mary was a virgin and she lived in Nazareth. She was engaged to a man named Joseph. God had sent to her the angel Gabriel in order for Mary to receive a message from God. But when Mary saw the angel she became afraid. Gabriel comforted her with these words, "Don't be afraid afraid, Mary, for God has decided to bless you. You shall become pregnant and have a son and you are to name him Jesus. He is going to be very great and be known and called the Son of the Most High. And God will give him the throne of David. He will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!"
Mary asked the angel how this would happen as she was a virgin. The angel toward her that The Holy Spirit would come upon her and the power of the Most High would overshadow her. The baby born will be holy and called the Son of God.
Mary responded by saying, "I am the Lord's servant, and I am willing to accept whatever he wants.May everything you have said come true."
