Why would Mary be highly favored? The thought troubled her. How could she be the mother of the Messiah? Mary had certainly heard the words of Isaiah 7, but that didn’t mean she expected the Messiah to be born without a human father. And she was a virgin! Was she supposed to rush the wedding to Joseph? Very confusing! And then Gabriel gave her an answer, that could have easily created more questions than answers. How was she going to understand all this? When we want so badly to understand everything, we would be better off doing what Mary did. Seek the answers we can get from God and his Word. And when we get the answers we barely comprehend, we do something better than understanding. We do what Mary did. We marvel that God would be so good to us, and we trust him.
