Now, this little virgin was all excited. Notice, here’s what I like about Mary. Amen. Instead of doubting like Zacharias, that preacher, she said, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to Your Word.” She didn’t try to figure it all out like he did. “Why,” he said, “now, look, my wife’s old” and so forth like this. We have plenty of examples. Look at Hagar at the temple. And look at Sarah. Many of the old women had had children by God’s blessings upon them. And he had plenty of examples. But he had—she had to believe something that had never happened. But, here’s what I like about Mary, before she felt life, before any physical outward demonstration, before there was one thing ceased in her body, before she felt life or anything, she started out testifying that she was going to have a baby. Hallelujah. God give us some more Marys that’ll take God at His Word. God had said so through His Angel, didn’t make any difference what everything else took place, she was going to have a baby, because she took God at His Word. Amen.
