The way the Savior is announced shows how the Savior is to be received. In Luke 1:26-38, Pastor Timothy Ateek shows how God’s grace, King, and power show up in Mary’s life, and as a result everything changes. God’s certain plans are that Jesus would be born. The only thing Mary is told to do is to call the baby Jesus. Otherwise, God is the one who does all the work by the power of his Spirit. In this saving event, the eternal Son of God took on flesh in the person of Jesus. And yet, he was born to die so that we might live.
