With Us.

"Mary said to the angel, “But how? I’ve never slept with a man.”

The angel answered,
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
the power of the Highest hover over you;
Therefore, the child you bring to birth
will be called Holy, Son of God." Luke 1:34 - 35

God knew. All would be well.

But Mary?

Mary, she needed explanation.
Did she recognise herself in Scripture?

"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel."  Isaiah 7:14

Yet the angel answered her. Not merely just a messenger, pronouncing, but the mouthpiece of the Living God who loves to talk with Adam's children.

Immanuel. God with us. God with Mary. Not just some-time-in-the-future, not 'only' a  Mighty God, King, Ruler, but also God With US. 

Now. Today. This minute. A heart'sbreath away.

We are not pregnant by the Holy Spirit, but Because of Jesus, the Holy Spirit lives in us. HE LIVES! GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH!
