Christ's Birth Foretold - Luke 1:26-38

Today, I started reading through Luke. In the first chapter, we learn first about John the Baptist and how Elizabeth is going to have a son. After that, we learn that Mary is also going to have a son - the Christ, or Messiah. I'll talk about John the Baptist at a later time.

For now, I am interested in Mary. In this passage, an angel appeared to her and told her that she was chosen by God to have the Christ. When the angel first appeared, she was afraid. But as the angel explained, she was chosen.

Read her reaction:

38"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.

Mathew 1:38

Notice how she accepted God's plan for her. Mary's life was about to change,yet she still accepted it.
