Read Luke 1:1–38
Think
One of my favourite things about Luke is his intention to
lay everything out in an orderly fashion.
He starts with the birth of Jesus and works his way through the history
of the earliest Christians all the way to the end of Acts. Ordering the events of about 100 years.
In these first 38 verses we hear news of two children to be
born, John the Baptist and then Jesus.
The initial response to the announcement of these children is doubt and
disbelief – the news is too spectacular, too good to be true.
The angels word to a disbelieving Mary is:
“For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Pray
Spend some time meditating on the angel’s word to Mary;
bring to God the things that you struggle with, that keep you from being the
person God created you to be. Hear the
angels words of hope: “For nothing is
impossible with God.”
