The incarnation of Christ represents the greatest event in human history, and God's choice of Mary reveals profound truths about His character. God chose Mary not because she was extraordinary, but because she was ordinary, pure, and young enough to be open to His plans. When the angel Gabriel announced she would bear the Son of God, Mary asked honest questions before ultimately surrendering to God's will. Her response teaches us that God welcomes our questions when asked with humble hearts, but He calls us to move from questioning to surrender. The real question isn't whether Mary knew what was happening, but whether we truly understand that Jesus made Himself completely vulnerable for our sake.
