Oops of the Day  

Mary said yes to her divine pregnancy the moment Gabriel told her.

Luke 1:26-38, 56

Fact of the Day

No! 

• She “kept pondering” why he greeted her in the way he did – “favored one”.
• Then she became afraid.
• Then she questioned the logic of what he told her; she was unmarried.
• Oddly, she did not question the baby being the Son of the Most High, so he repeated himself saying he will be the Son of God.
• She must have pondered again,
• so the angel added some reassurance; her elderly cousin, Elizabeth was pregnant too, and that should be proof to her that God can do the impossible.
• She accepted the “holy challenge”

Then Mary rushed to see Elizabeth. If Elizabeth really was pregnant, then Mary knew she was too. She stayed three months, long enough to hold Elizabeth’s miracle baby in her arms.
