Bible Passage: Luke 1:26-38 - When Elizabeth was six months pregnant, God sent the angel Gabriel to visit a young girl named Mary who lived in the town of Nazareth and was engaged to be married to Joseph. The angel greeted Mary and said that she was highly favored by the Lord, and this troubled her. The angel told her not to be afraid, and that she would become pregnant and give birth to a son who would be named Jesus, and would be the Son of God as well as a great King who’s kingdom would never end. Mary was confused about how this would happen, and the angel said that the Holy Spirit would cause it to happen, and that even Elizabeth would be having a baby in her old age. Mary then accepted the angel’s words and God’s plan for her.
