—Luke 1:30-33

The message Gabriel gave to Mary was greater than any message delivered by an angel up to this time. It was the ultimate message of God fulfilling a promise made to his people in the days of the Old Testament. The message of the coming Messiah had been prophesied for thousands of years, throughout many generations, and now it was coming to fulfillment through a teenager! God’s standards are so different from ours, choosing people as his vessels because of what he sees in them, not what they see in themselves, or even what those around them see.
