Preacher: Pastor Rod Pinder

Summary:

Advent 3: Joy. The lighting of the pink candle; or "the Mary candle."

Detail:

26  Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was
sent by God to a city of Galilee named
Nazareth,  27  to a virgin betrothed to a man whose
name was Joseph, of the house of David. The
virgin’s name was Mary.

28  And having come in, the angel said to her,
“Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with
you; blessed are you among women!”

29  But when she saw him, she was troubled at his
saying, and considered what manner of greeting
this was.  30  Then the angel said to her, “Do not be
afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31  And behold, you will conceive in your womb and
bring forth a Son, and shall call His name
Jesus.  32  He will be great, and will be called the
Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give
Him the throne of His father David.  33  And He will
reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His
kingdom there will be no end.”

34  Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be,
since I do not know a man?”

35  And the angel answered and said to
her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the
power of the Highest will overshadow you;
therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born
will be called the Son of God.

36  Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also
conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the
sixth month for her who was called barren.  37  For
with God nothing will be impossible.”

38  Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the
Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.”
And the angel departed from her.
