Presented by Pastor !ustin Greene "#tober 26$ 2%14
Without a doubt we could spend our lives searching the literature of the world for a story as beautiful as that of the Nativity and never find it. The narrative of Christs birth is especially piercing because it is true, being firmly fixed in history with an actual place and real people. It began for Christs mother with the nnunciation, which in itself is a story of singular beauty and wonder firmly situated in human life.
The setting for the nnunciation drew ama!ement from first"century #ewish readers because $abriel ignored #udea, the heartland of $ods wor% through the centuries, and came to $alilee, a land that was the sub&ect of abiding #ewish contempt because of its mongreli!ed population ...
...'artin (uther remar%ed, )*e might have gone to #erusalem and pic%ed out Caiaphas daughter, who was fair, rich, clad in gold embroidered raiment and attended by a retinue of maids in waiting. +ut $od preferred a lowly maid from a mean town., nd if the Incarnation happened today, it would be the same. The (ord would not be born in #erusalem or -ome or $eneva or Canterbury, but on the ordinary streets of some nameless town.
s we study the nnunciation, we must accept the essential spiritual fact of the Incarnation and the gospel. the (ord comes to needy people / those who reali!e that without him they cannot ma%e it / those who ac%nowledge their wea%ness and spiritual lac%. The Incarnation, salvation, resurrection, Christmas are not for the proud and self"sufficient.
s we follow the course of the nnunciation, we will catch the pulse of the virgins heart because Mary is a model for those who experience the birth of the Savior in their lives. 1
