TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” (Luke 1:34)

BIBLE TWEET: Mary’s initial consternation over Gabriel’s appearance turned into incongruity over Gabriel’s announcement; after all, how could she, a virgin, conceive and give birth to any child, let alone a Son who would be our exclusive Savior and eternal Sovereign.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Surely, Mary thought the angel had gotten the wrong address and wrong addressee. Yet, Heavenly couriers, unlike earthly postal employees, never deliver messages to wrong recipients. Lowly Nazareth was the right address and the Virgin Mary the right recipient. Heaven was looking for purity clad in humility, and being the epitome of both, Mary was the perfect receptacle for the divine seed.
