Luke 1 is the best important bible section and gives inference how our savior, Jesus Christ was born.
Sharon mott's comment on 12/12/2012, 9:22am...
Luke is a great chapter about obedience, faith, and believing in Jesus.
Timothy Wayne George's comment on 11/19/2012, 8:46am...
Why did Zacharias doubt when Gabriel told him he would have a son? Just as Gabriel told Mary nothing is impossible with God. Mary is highly rewarded for her faith, for she proclaimed behold the handmaiden of the Lord, be it unto to me according to thy word. Faith is what moves the hand of God, and not doubt. So Zacharias repented after the angel told him he would be dumb, and speechless, until God brought to pass these things in his season. So have faith in God, and He will move any mountain that you may be facing in your life at this time.

This verse could be indicating that Mary is actually referring to God the father as Her Savior. Jews, before Jesus, Had to believe that God was going to save them. This was through strict adherence to the Law and sacrificing for their sins not through faith in Jesus the Christ who had not yet died for their sins. So in effect, God the Father would have been known as their Savior.

It is an amazing scripture.

Our God does not tell lies, he always promises his children and also fulfill his promises, that's why we call him God the Almighty. The unchangeable.

Boyet Christian's comment on 6/18/2012, 7:27am...
Hello Gabriel, thanks for your reply. Mary is blessed above all people because she is KECHARITOMENE, literally it means "she who has been graced" in a COMPLETED sense. God saved Mary in a most sublime manner. She was given the grace to be saved completely from sin(Luke 1:28, Romans 6:14) so that she never committed even the slightest transgression (Jude 24-25). Every Christian is NOT completed in grace and in a permanent sense (Philippians 3:8-12). But according to the angel, Mary is (Luke 1:28). You and I sin, not because of grace, but because of a lack of grace, or a lack of our cooperation with grace, in our lives. This greeting of the angel is one clue into the unique character and calling of Mary. Only Mary is given the name "full of grace" and in the perfect tense, indicating that this permanent state of Mary was completed.
Gabriel's comment on 5/23/2012, 5:40pm...
dear Boyet Christian; mary was as blessed as any other person to be a conduit of divine Grace, to brand her as without sin would be to put her on a pedestal with Christ, that would be anathema - or is there another way of interpreting john 14:6?

Wow. What a chapter. Prophetic on salvation on Christs holy beginning on his name on the mother of Christ on John the baptist's beginning which should sort out the confusion that many have on who is who. In fact this chapter alone sorts out alot of myth revealing truth.
Ann johnson's comment on 3/22/2012, 11:11am...
Oh, Praise God! How majestic to think that the God of Glory would come to earth in form of man. His own arm brought salvation according to Acts 2:37,38.
Joe's comment on 1/10/2012, 5:58pm...
People often dispute the accuracy of this book. Just knowning that a Doctor and one of the most learned men of his time would write so much about these events would be enough. Not only to convince anyone of the historical accuracy but to show that the miracles were real events by a real person called Jesus. All witnessed by thousands and recorded for all time by a Doctor. What more proof could you ask for from anyone of that era.

I really love it God bless
BM Devitt's comment on 12/19/2011, 6:55pm...
Gabriel did not say you have concieved but that she will concieve. Mary seems to misunderstand this. Mary is by scripture espoused (engaged)to Joseph. If read carefully this is a direct prophetic calling to give notice of what will be !

jump for at theNAME OF THE LORD
Boyet Christian's comment about verse 28 on 11/22/2011, 4:03am...
The angel Gabriel said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you" (Luke 1:28). The phrase "full of grace" is a translation of the Greek word KECHARITOMENE. It therefore expresses a characteristic quality of Mary. The traditional translation, "full of grace," is better than the one found in many recent versions of the New Testament. The grace given to Mary is at once permanent and of a unique kind. Kecharitomene is a perfect passive participle of charitoo, meaning "to fill or endow with grace." Since this term is in the perfect tense, it indicates that Mary was graced in the past but with continuing effects in the present. So, the grace Mary enjoyed was not a result of the angel’s visit, it is extended over the whole of her life, from conception onward. She was in a state of sanctifying grace from the first moment of her existence.
The women after Christ's resurrection, Noah, Moses, David, Gideon, and Jael are NOT considered by the bible as KECHARITOMENE. ONLY FOR MARY is the word KECHARITOMENE used in the bible as a proper name, clearly showing the singular way God has blessed her with His grace and holiness. The fullness of such grace and holiness would not at all be consistent with any presence of sin, giving us an indirect statement of Mary's complete freedom from sin.

I love the Lord.His Holy Words is true.He's the Kings of Kings,Lord of Lords.The Bible is real. Thank You Lord
Memeshay's comment on 10/04/2011, 12:52pm...
I stand, always, amazed at the workings of our Lord and Savior. By just looking at the blood lines of Zacharia/Elizabeth, Joseph/Mary coming together to bring forth the Gospel of Christ, Wow and AMEN! This, alone, could change a sinner's thought processes about who Jesus is when they would come to the realization of it's power. It's the blood, the precious blood that has all power to cleanse, save, and heal. AMEN (again)

yet it is exactly as said, nothing is impossible with God.
Bob Williams's comment on 9/20/2011, 10:23am...
Thank you Lord for having Luke share this declaration with Theophilus and then preserving it for us to enjoy. Now we can know the 'certainty' of Your ministry while here on earth.
David's comment on 8/23/2011, 4:20am...
Sad it may be, but it's only inspirational if true. To be true, certain events must have actually occurred. If they did not occur then it is myth and for this reason alone it is worth engaging with the difficulties that I have previously outlined.
