The Intensity of God’s Intentions

Please read Luke 1. Link to the passage: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%201&version=NIV

             girl and sun

I remember, when I was a boy, using a magnifying glass to concentrate sunlight into a dot of light on a dry leaf. In just a matter of seconds, smoke began to curl up from the leaf and the charred edges of a hole spread away from the dot of sunlight.

One day, God’s intention to keep His promises concentrated on a young woman in Israel.

No wonder Mary was greatly troubled.

God’s intentions ignited quickly into a plan:

            “You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”

The intensity of God’s intention to accomplish His Death-to-Life Project remains undiminished. In fact, it has concentrated on the little boy developing in the womb of young Mary.
