Put Yourself in Mary's Sandals Luke 1:26-38

She was a relatively obscure and seemingly insignificant young woman, in a small rural town. She's getting ready to be married and perhaps wondering what the future held for her - she has no idea! A messenger from God brings her unbelievable news; she's never heard anything like this! God's word spoken to her changes everything for her. In a moment she becomes a central person in God's redemp-tive purpose. Of course I'm speaking of Mary, but what if I was describing you? Are there any parallels between Mary then and us today? This Sunday we'll look at a familiar Christmas story and try to envision what it could be like to see ourselves in Mary's sandals.
