For the Kids
There are a lot of times that we have to go through difficult situations that we don't understand. God tells us something in His word, and we don't think it should be true, or that it isn't possible to follow God's ways in a situation in our life. But wonderful things happen when we obey God's ways and decide to do the right thing, no matter what. Our souls are lifted up when we decide to walk in faith, do things God's way even when it doesn't make sense.
For the Adults
Pregnant! But I'm only a young teenager. And I've never been with a man! Yet, when an angel is standing before you telling you that God's plans for the anointed one to enter the planet come through your womb, it must be even more earth shattering than being a pregnant teen. Not to mention that she was betrothed to be married, and therefore could be stoned to death for adultery, should Joseph claim that she committed adultery against him.
Mary's reaction is beautiful. "Behold your faithful servant".
Mary had faith that if God would make the miracle of an immaculate conception possible, then He would make all of the other miracles happen to allow the baby to reach adulthood and carry out His ministry. God would provide, one step at a time. If only we all had such faith.
