"The angel recognizes that she’s being practical, not doubting, and he answers her in the same spirit. “No,” he says, “you don’t have to worry about the details. The Holy Spirit will handle this by miracle.” And he tells her about her relative Elizabeth, who is also pregnant when that shouldn’t be possible." Lutheran Hour Ministries

HOW? - Lutheran Hour Ministries

And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the Child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” (Luke 1:34-37)

#SecondWeekOfAdvent #SeasonOfPeace "The angel started out by calling Mary “favored one,” and he repeats it again just a second later: “You have found favor with God.” It’s obviously important if he keeps saying it to her! What does this word “favor” mean?"

"FAVOR WITH GOD" - Lutheran Hour Ministries

And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a Son, and you shall call His Name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (Luke 1:30-33)
