God’s plan for saving the world would flow through a submissive young woman: Mary. Her response to God’s call provides us with an example of a humble, trusting, and yielded spirit – willing to follow where God’ leads.
Observations:
- God wanted to use Mary
- What God says seems impossible for Mary
- Even in mystery, Mary submits to God
Conclusions:
- The 1st mystery of Jesus’ birth is its personal implications
- To receive Jesus is to receive a miracle
- To receive Jesus is to submit to Jesus
Application: How do you respond when God says, “Let’s go”?
- Meditate on the invitation that God would chose you
