Calling Mary (Luke 1:26-38, 43, 48)

What's so special about Mary? God's favor is on her for sure. When God calls Mary for a great purpose, it's important for us to understand how ordinary she was; otherwise we may miss the point that this story is about Jesus. Just because she was ordinary, that doesn't mean God is! His Holy Spirit and His power qualified Mary to carry the impossible. This is still true today! It's God who calls ordinary people, qualifies the unqualified, and makes us capable to fulfill what He has spoken.
