the fearless message: Mary

Mary was minding her own business.  She was going to draw water from the well as she always had.  Then eternity stepped into time. It's all recorded in Luke chapter 1.  The angel actually gave a friendly greeting in Luke 1:29 when he said "Greetings favored woman!  The Lord is with you!"  As she wondered about it, the fearless message came:

 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 name him 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.”
To this grand message came a question that would anchor our theology of Christ's nature. Mary's question is found in Luke 1:33.  The angel's specific answer in Luke 1:34 shows that there was no surprise on the eternal scope, but that God had orchestrated everything for our redemption.  The fearless message is found in Luke 1:31-33.  He will be named Jesus.  He will reign on the throne of David forever.  His kingdom will never end.  Praise God!
