Luke 1:26-38

“Mary was a young woman who was very familiar with the Scriptures. Being very familiar with the Scriptures and the language of Scriptures, it may be that she remembered hearing these very words before. And that was because this exact language reflects the words that the angel of the Lord used in greeting Gideon in the Old Testament.”

Luke 1:1-4

“One of the things that distinguishes the Christian faith from all other religions is that it stands or falls on whether certain things happened or didn’t.”
