Today's Reading From Luke 1.21-38

Luke 1.21-38
In Luke 1.21-25, when Zechariah came out of the temple, he was speechless, and people realized that he saw a vision. when his time of service was completed he returned home. After this, Elizabeth became pregnant. Zechariah knew the scriptures, he remembered the story of Sarah and Abraham, the story of Samson and Eli. All of these woem were barren and childless, yet God intervened and gave them all sons. What can we learn from this? God will use people who are 'weak and insignificant' according to the world's standards to achieve his glory. We must trust and obey him so that He couls use us for His glory.

In Luke 1.26-38, in the town town of Nazareth, Gabriel was sent, this time to a virgin named Mary. Again, Gabriel said, Do not be afraid! , this time to Mary. Notice the announcement he gave her of who Jesus will be '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 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.' We should rejoice that He is king and His kingdom will never end regardless what is happening in our lives today. One of the great mystery of the Christian faith is the incarnation that Jesus is both God and man.
