Christmas Message - How can this be?


 My text this morning was taken from Luke 1:26-38. We considered the special encounter Mary had. Some lessons from this passage:

1.     Prominence before God

  •      28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favoured! The Lord is with you.”

2.     Preferred by God 

  •      30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favour with God.

3.    Purpose of God

  •     31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.

4.    Protest before God

  •    34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

5.    Presence of God

  •      35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.

6.     Proclamation to God.

  •       38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
God has given us His Holy Spirit for us to be:

  •      The salt and the light of this world
  •      To fulfil the Great Commission
  •     To live a live pleasing to God by doing His purpose for our  lives
