My Question

Word of Life

Ah, dear soul, let us journey together through the sacred narrative of a miraculous event filled with divine grace and wonder. In the Gospel of Luke, it is beautifully recounted how the angel Gabriel visited Mary, a young woman of pure heart, with a message from the Almighty. Gabriel greeted her with words of favor, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28, NIV). Though initially troubled by his words, Mary listened intently. The angel revealed to her the divine plan: "Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus" (Luke 1:30-31, NIV). Mary, in her humble and gentle spirit, asked how this could be, for she was a virgin. Gabriel explained, "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" (Luke 1:35, NIV). With grace and faith, Mary accepted this divine calling, responding, "I am the Lord’s servant. May your word to me be fulfilled" (Luke 1:38, NIV). Thus, through the profound mystery of the Holy Spirit, Mary became the vessel for the birth of Jesus, a testament to God's boundless love and the fulfillment of His promise to humankind. May this wondrous story inspire you, dear soul, to trust in the divine plan and embrace the beauty of faith.

Bible Commentary

Matthew 1:18 describes the miraculous conception of Jesus. It states that Mary, betrothed to Joseph, was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit before they came together. This emphasizes Jesus' divine origin.
