“Mary: A Faith Too Important Not to Share”
Luke 1:26-35
26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a
virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's
name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored!
The Lord is with you." 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of
greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found
favor with God. 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the
name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God
will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob
forever; his kingdom will never end." 34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I
am a virgin?" 35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of
the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of
God.
