For many young couples...finding out you are going to have a baby is a wonderful occasion! But when the angel Gabriel told Mary she would be the mother of Jesus, she was understandably confused. Of course, her circumstances were definitely not normal. It's not surprising that Mary was confused, considering she wasn't even married to Joseph yet. But despite how unbelievable it seemed to Mary - she believed what God had sent the angel to tell her.
Things to think about:
You know, I think we can all relate to Mary. It was hard for her to believe that she would be the mother of the Son of God. Some of God’s promises do seem unbelievable, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t true. We have been talking for 2 weeks now about believing something even when it doesn't make sense to us. Last week, we saw that Zachariah had a hard time believing. Hopefully we can work on becoming like Mary who chose to believe even when she didn't understand.
