Grace Does The Impossible

God sent a might angel named Gabriel to announce the coming birth of the Savior. He sent him to the very unlikely city of Nazareth to make this announcement to a very unlikely woman.

You would have thought that this announcement would have been delivered to a Queen or, at least, a Princess. However, Gabriel was sent to a woman named Mary. Despite what Roman Catholic tradition says, there was nothing special about Mary. She was very simple, very humble, and probably very poor. She was engaged to a man who was a carpenter, nothing special about that.

But we are told that Mary was favored or shown grace by God. She was the one that He had chosen to give birth to the Savior. To this very unlikely woman comes a special demonstration of God’s grace. The choice of Mary, this unlikely woman just gives proof that nothing is impossible with God.
