“How can this be?” Mary asks. (Luke 1:26-38)
Mary has been asked to do the seemingly impossible: Become pregnant, suffer rebuke from her family and have the Messiah in her womb!
The angel gives her two things to equip her to move forward. First a friendship with Elizabeth. Second, the word promise that nothing will be impossible with God.
As we say to ourselves “how can this be?”, when asked to do the seemingly impossible, the angel of God points us to friends in faith, and offers us the same word of promise
The artwork is by African-American artist Henry Tanner, 1898.
