Bart Byl on Luke 1:26–38.

The archangel Gabriel appears to a teenage girl in a forgotten village with a startling announcement: you will bear the long-promised Messiah of Israel. And in her virgin womb the highly-favoured Mary, overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, knit together the humanity of our Lord. Mary was a human being like us, subject to sin and death and in need of a Saviour. But she was set apart as the holy space for the one beyond all space. She is the Burning Bush, the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Covenant. And every generation will call her blessed, because she gave the world our Saviour.
