“Paul's First Letter to Timothy — Prisoners of Hope — Part 5”

We continue today in the “Prisoners of Hope” series with our long expected teaching on the Virgin Mary.  Mary and her betrothed husband Joseph are the focus of God’s great work to launch the final phases of his completion of the promises given in Genesis 3 regarding “the Seed of the Woman”.  God does bring forth his Son and it is accomplished exactly in accord with his eternal plan.  Mary’s conception will be miraculous indeed and will be by the Holy Spirit.  Gabriel’s announcement of this is a wonder to behold.  After visiting her cousin Elizabeth and hearing her inspired words concerning her son John still unborn but even then aware of the work of God in Mary’s womb, her song of praise is perhaps the greatest of those found in the Bible.  John, while still unborn and unnamed except by the angel Gabriel, had already begun his ministry of “announcing” the presence of the Son of God!  Amen.
