We noticed that most of the story is recorded in the Gospel of Luke, a little in the Gospel of Matthew and none in either of the Gospels of Mark or John.
Today's story was that of the Angel Gabriel coming to visit Mary and telling her that she was going to have a baby and that she should call him Jesus (which means Saviour).
We thought that Mary would have been frightened because of her young age and because she was bethrothed to be married to Joseph. The Angel told her that she was highly favoured by God. This role she was to have would be very important. We realised that this event, though impossible in human terms, was very possible for God.
Although she did not really understand all that was being asked of her, she agreed without hesitation. Are we as obedient as that when God asks us to do something?
