Preached it like no one else

I love the way this pastor preaches. I love the way he dissects the Bible verses and shows us new revelations. No one does it better than him. Really.

Taken from Luke 1 : 5 – 37. Elizabeth and Mary both found out they will soon be pregnant.
A brief background to these two ladies.

Elizabeth - married to Zacharias, a certain priest. They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord but have no child because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.

Mary - a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph,  descendant of David. An angel appeared before her and said that she has found favour with God and will conceive in  her womb, and bear a son.

Looking at these two ladies, in our human mind, it made more sense and more believable for Elizabeth to give birth. Simple fact that she was a married woman. Instead, God chose Mary, a virgin, to give birth to Jesus. Now, through centuries, many have questioned how could a virgin give birth? Many preachers have gave the answer that Mary was the chosen one. Shouldn't Elizabeth be the chosen one too after all she was blameless, leading a holy life too.

Today, this preacher has enlightened me. To choose Mary, a virgin, to give birth to Jesus, shows that God's choice is never base on human standard but the Grace of God. It shows the miracles of God.
How true.
