Dr. John MuhlfeldDecember 14, 2014Passage: Luke 1:26-45
There were a wide variety of responses to the announcement of Jesus’ birth. King Herod responded in murderous rage. Priest Zechariah responded in skeptical doubt. But a poor, teenage girl from Nazareth responded in faithful obedience. It was a fitting response to the Savior whose faithful obedience would save His people from their sins through the cross, and it reminds us that Advent brings not only good news of great joy but a renewed call to follow the One who first sought us.
