The Extraordinary News to Mary
The podcast episode discusses how the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to deliver extraordinary news. The angel tells Mary that she will conceive a son, Jesus, who will be called the Son of the Most High and will reign over the house of Jacob forever. Mary, being a virgin, questions how this will happen, but the angel assures her that the Holy Spirit will come upon her, and the child to be born will be called Holy, the Son of God. This message was shocking and unheard of, as it challenged traditional beliefs and even raised doubts, but it conveyed the idea that God had chosen Mary to bring forth the promised King and Savior.
