the birth of Jesus page 7 by ric Gustafson
An angel surprises Mary one day. Gabriel calls her ' the highly favored one'. Mary was greatly troubled by this. She did not know what it meant. Gabriel tells Mary that she will conceive a son and they will call him Jesus. He will be great and he will be called the Son of the Highest. The angel describes Jesus's kingdom, his throne and that he will share the nature and name of his Father in heaven.
Mary asks the question " how can this be, since I do not know a man?". Gabriel replies that the conception would be a miracle. Jesus's conception and birth would be a miracle by God. Mary replies " let it be to me according to your word".
