31 65/2083&84L-31 Narrator 2: All was ready. God would come, but not in the way His people had expected. He did not come as a mighty king or as a mysterious force. He came as a baby, born to a woman named Mary. Narrator 1: In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant (music begins) of David. Her name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." (Luke 1:26-28) Narrator 2: God was teaching His people about Himself. He does not come with force, but with humility and tenderness. He does not come through human action or will, but by His own perfect plan and loving power. Through Mary, God taught His people how to receive Him: through grateful surrender. Narrator 1: "I am the Lord's servant," Mary responded. "May your word to me be fulfilled." (Luke 1:38) For Preview Only
