As you know, I'm reading through the Greek New Testament in canonical order. I've finished the first two gospels and began Luke this morning. I was struck again, as I read the birth narrative, how simple and beautiful it is. I was stirred again by the words of Gabriel to Mary:
Luke 1:30-33 (HCSB) 30 Then the angel told her: Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 Now listen: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will call His name JESUS. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.
I know it's not Christmas yet, but any time of year is right to read about the Incarnation. I praise God the Father today for the coming of His Son!
