A Moment of Doubt

v.30 “Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.”

v.34“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

A Moment of Reassurance

Another miracle
Another person

Reassurance comes through the voice of another person

A Moment of Surrender

v.38 “I am the Lord’s servant… may your word to me be fulfilled.”

Surrender is your “yes” to Jesus.

Surrender comes before the struggle.

A Moment of Response

v.46 From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me – holy is his name.

His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm”

“’Til he appeared and the soul felt his worth.”
