Mary was a simple, ordinary maiden in Nazareth, faithfully committed to her daily domestic chores. To her community, she was just another young woman, unnoticed and uncelebrated. But one day, everything changed. She received a message from the Lord through His messenger, Angel Gabriel. The content of that divine message transformed her life completely.
That single announcement changed her status, altered her family history, shifted her location, and made her an extraordinary woman for all generations. From being unknown, she became highly favored. From obscurity, she entered into a destiny that made her the blessed mother of the Savior of the world (Luke 1:26–38). Truly, the message of God is powerful enough to turn an ordinary story into an extraordinary testimony.
God Still Sends His Message Today
Out of His unending love, God is still sending His message to humanity. He speaks through:
His written Word (the Bible)
His Spirit (the still small voice within)
His conscience-stirring conviction
His inspired messengers—faithful men and women who yield themselves to the ministry of the Word
These servants of God carry the eternal message that can deliver men from the power of darkness, transform ugly stories into beautiful testimonies, and guide souls to make one decision that echoes in eternity: “Repent and believe the Gospel” (Mark 1:15).
The Response of Men
Sadly, unlike Mary, many today turn deaf ears to this message. Some argue with the truth of God’s Word, others select only the parts they want to believe, while some despise or even hate the messengers. Many deliberately ignore the Word that was sent to bring them life.
But the question remains: What will your response be?
Will you argue?
Will you ignore?
Or will you believe, like Mary?
Mary’s humble submission—“Be it unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38)—made all the difference in her life. The same Word, when received in faith, can change your story too.
A Call to Decision
Beloved, God loves you deeply. Repent from anything that defiles and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. He alone gives peace from within. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior, and the rest of your life will become a testimony of His grace.
If you once believed but have drifted away, come back home—the Lord is waiting with open arms.
If you are in Him but fainting under trials and doubts, hold fast. This is a journey of joy, and the glory at the end is beyond measure.
Just as one message changed Mary’s story forever, the message of the Gospel can change yours today.
