Passage : Luke 1:26~38
Keyverse : 37

1. You who are highly favored (26-30)

In Elizabeth's sixth month of pregnancy, God sent angel Gabriel to a virgin in Nazareth named Mary. She was pledged to marry Joseph, a descendant of David. Gabriel said, "Greetings, highly favored one! The Lord is with you." It was God's favor and blessing. But Mary was troubled. God's favor and grace is the greatest blessing anyone can receive.

2. His kingdom will never end (31-33)

Mary was chosen to birth Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of the Most High God. He would be King over God's people. His kingdom would never end.

3. No word from God will ever fail (34-38)

Mary, a virgin, wondered "how" it would be. It would happen by the Holy Spirit, the presence and power of God. The angel mentioned Elizabeth's miraculous pregnancy. Mary yielded her will and dream to God's plan, as the Lord's servant. God's word will be fulfilled. His word will never fail.


Application: Father in heaven, thank you for your favor in Christ. May we live in your good will and your unfailing word by your grace and Spirit.
One Word: What God wants and says will never fail
