Promise And Faith | Luke 1:26-46

God’s promises in the Hebrew Scriptures continue to take shape as the angel Gabriel visits a virgin named Mary, who is engaged to be married to a man named Joseph—from the ancestral line of King David. The angel tells her that the promises of God in the Scriptures of a Messiah will be fulfilled through the son she will bear through immaculate conception. In contrast to Zechariah’s response, rather than doubt, Mary responds to God’s promise in faith. This story focuses on God’s promises, and God’s desired human response, humility and faith.
