1) Gabriel’s Announcement (v26-34)
To the world, Mary was an unknown girl from an unknown village, but not to God
God knew Mary, looking on her with favor
God was with Mary, sending His messenger to her
What would make this child unlike any other ever born would be his:
Divinity - as the Son of the Most High
Royalty - sitting on the throne of his ancestral father David
Authority - reigning over the house of Judah forever

God would do this as:
His presence will come upon her
His power will overshadow her
3) Gabriel’s Assurance (v36-37)
Our faith in what God has promised to do is founded on what God has already done

Waiting with hope
Waiting with anticipation and expectation
Waiting in faithful obedience
