3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin. 4 For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from 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. And the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And 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 bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to 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 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” 35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

Zechanriah prays for God to Save His People
Zechariah & Elizabeth Promised a Son
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from 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. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
But now in the Sixth Month (v36 - 6th month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy)
Angel Gabriel
Virgin betrothed to Joseph, house of David
Her name was Mary
28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”
Favoured - by the unmerited favour of God
Elizabeth & Zechaniah - “Righteous before God , blameless in all the commandments”
Papists - error
29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.
Mary was attentive to the words of the Angel
She recognised she was receiving a message of great importance
Fear & reverence for God
30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Do not be afraid
Found Favour with God
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Immanuel - God with Us
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
Conceive in your womb & bear a son
Shall call his name Jesus
Joshua - God is Deliverance (Yahweh is salvation)
Jesus - Yahweh Saves
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to 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.”
He will be great
John - before the Lord
Jesus - to be called (acknowledged as) the Son of the Most High
He will have the throne of David
He will reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) forever
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
Mary expects God to work immenently
She accepts that this will come to pass
She enquires the method by which God will work
35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.
Angel confirms not by normal inception
His conception will be Unique (Holy) and an act of God
Angel confirms again Jesus is the Son of God
36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Angel points to the example of Elizabeth
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Angel reminds Mary that nothing is impossible with God
38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Behold, I am a servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word

Doxology(read) –
NOT TO US BE GLORY GIVEN
but to him who reigns above:
Glory to the God of heaven
for his faithfulness and love!
What though unbelieving voices
hear no word and see no sign,
still in God my heart rejoices,
working out his will divine.
