The Birth of Jesus Foretold
In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, the angel Gabriel appears to Mary. She lives in a poor little town called Nazareth. She is a virgin, betrothed to Joseph, a carpenter. Some say she was around 13 years old. They married young in those days. What I find interesting here is that Mary has a question for Gabriel, much like Zechariah did. However, notice the difference in questions - Mary wonders how she will become pregnant, whereas Zechariah wanted to know how he could be sure he was being told the truth. One had a question, the other had a doubt. It all comes down to faith.
