Transcript

  It will be a special episode to crown the end of the year 2023. As the Lord provides us with an opportunity to see that he is faithful to finish the good work that he had already begun, not just when the year was starting but in the lives of different individuals who will be joining us as special guests in this series to reveal to us of the beauty of the transforming grace of God, our Father. So we have exclusive guest interviews of individuals who have walked in the journey of faith, cultivated a relationship with Jesus and over time they have become living testaments of what God can do, and what God cannot do does not exist because they are going to reveal to us of the Majesty, Grace and the power of God in their lives. All these individuals are coming from all different walks of life. Yet, they had an encounter with the Lord and, their life story was transformed and with an open heart they received the transforming grace of God, and the beauty and the joy of what God did in their lives. They could not contain it. They could not keep silent, but tell the whole world of the goodness of God. So we have an opportunity to hear from them, and we have an opportunity to see with our own eyes what Jesus has done.  So as we unveil deep mysteries from the word of God, coming alive and so we can see the evidence of their testimony when they join us. So I'd like to welcome you to join us in this series with an open heart, believing and trusting what the word of God tells us in the gospel of Luke. The gospel of (Luke 1:37) says “for nothing will be impossible for God.” So this was a moment when the Angel Gabriel came to announce the birth of baby Jesus to Mary, a teenage girl who seemed to be very focused, very composed, and after those words were spoken, her mission began. So this reveals to us that she actually believed what was spoken even though it was too heavy to imagine, it was too heavy to bear, she believed it, and the reality of it happened and it is seen in her life later on. So in God’s faithfulness, mercy, grace and power the birth of Jesus comes to pass and He does what He came to do. And so we are talking about Him because it was the message of Good News that began with the announcement. It was so divine that it was beyond any human comprehension, and especially given to a teenage girl, but, she had the capacity to be able to hear it and to bear it with an open heart to be able to live by it and to allow God's word to be fulfilled in her life without any questions, and when we read the Gospel of Matthew (19:26), the Bible says Jesus looked at them and said; “for human beings, this is impossible but for God all things are possible.” So we have these two scriptures and as a reminder revealing to us that truly what God cannot do, does not exist. Jesus spoke these words himself to the disciples, we know now who Jesus is. He's the Lord, the king, the Most High God. On the other hand, when Jesus was coming to the world the same words were spoken to the little teenage girl who was meant to carry this heavy message and become an instrument of God’s abundant grace and mercy to the world. So she became a walking tabernacle because she believed. She experienced what was prophesied and spoken about because she believed and that is why, irrespective of what she went through a tough time to bear a child, especially this is the story of Christmas, which we are preparing out hearts for and reflecting on. So irrespective of what she had to encounter later on along this journey, she was still convinced that the good Lord, that the great message that she received from Abba father, that the good work that the Lord begun He still had the power  to fulfil and accomplish. So, I don't think she was worried at any one time thinking we need to come to pass thinking how it would be fulfilled, but I think she had an inbuilt capacity to be able to embrace this because she believed even when the word was spoken in the beginning.
