Luke 1: 26-38
- The Annunciation of Jesus’ Birth is a sign of hope on two levels,
- It is announcing that the King of Kings is coming to his own, to rescue them.
- And it is also announcing to each one of us, that we are not forgotten.
- God wills us to be saved and like Mary we are perplexed.
- Mary represents us in this narrative,
- And we recognising we are sinners,
- Say how can God abide in us who are sinners.
- And God is assuring us,
- He never forgot us,
- Always waiting for the best time,
- to come and proclaim to us,
- his love and acceptance of us,
- as we are.
- He says;
- Open your hearts,
- Let me come and be born in you,
- And let me grow in you,
- And I will show you,
- How to love as God,
- And live life with God,
- Walking in his presence.
- Let us join with Mary and say,
- ‘Be it done to me/us according to your Will.’
