Scriptures:
2 Samuel 7:11-16
“‘The Lord
declares to you that the Lord
himself will establish a house for you: When your days are over and you rest
with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come
from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for
my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his
father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with the
rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men. But my love will never be taken away
from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your
house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be
established forever.’”
Luke 1:26-38
In the
sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a
virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The
virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are
highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what
kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,
Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a
son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called
the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father
David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will
never end.”
“How will this be,” Mary asked the
angel, “since I am a virgin?”
The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit
will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the
holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative
is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is
in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.”
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary
answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
