When Zechariah emerges from the temple unable to speak, the people realize he has seen a vision, setting the stage for God’s surprising movement in the lives of ordinary people. In Nazareth, the angel Gabriel appears to Mary with an even more astonishing message—that she will conceive by the power of the Holy Spirit and bear the Son of the Most High. This passage reveals that God is breaking into the world with grace and promise, inviting His people to trust Him even when His plans seem impossible.
