December 22, 2025 The Christmas Story - Mary: The Lord’s Servant - December 21, 2025 Combined Morning Service
Mary: The Lord’s Servant
Luke 1.26-56
Gordon Dabbs, PhD
Advent often, for believers, refers to is the season leading up to Christmas. The season of waiting. Hoping. Trusting. Advent is the season of almost… but not yet…
What is coming upon the world is the Light of the World. It is Christ. That is the comfort of it. The challenge of it is that it has not come yet. Only the hope for it has come, only the longing for it. In the meantime we are in the dark, and the dark, God knows, is also in us. We watch and wait for a holiness to heal us and hallow us, to liberate us from the dark. Advent is like the hush in a theater just before the curtain rises. ~ Frederick Buechner
Christmas is not about how we find God. It’s about how God found us. And He chose to arrive in a way no one expected.
Mary was from Nazareth. Young—likely a teenager. Poor. Unmarried. Engaged to a carpenter of like socio-economic means. When the world says, “Not enough,” God says, “Watch this.”
Mary wasn’t chosen because she was impressive. She was chosen because she was available.
Luke 1.26-29 (ESV) In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.
Yes, it is entirely possible to be right in the center of God’s will and still feel confused and disturbed at the same time.
Luke 1.35,37 (ESV) The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. . . For nothing will be impossible with God.
Mary speaks words that change the direction of history…
Luke 1.38 (ESV) Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.
It is very easy to care more about the approval of others than the approval of God. We want to be liked. Understood. Avoid tension.
Luke 1.45 (NLT) You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.
Christmas is the story of what God can do when someone says “yes.”
May we have the courage to do the same.
