Luke 1:26-38

   1.      Verses 31–33, 35. How many features of the person and mission of the promised child can be discerned in the words of the angel? Make a list of them.

​

   2.      Contrast Mary’s reception of the angel’s message with that of Zechariah (see previous study, Question 2). Cf. verse 45. What did Mary’s response involve? Are you prepared similarly to ask the Lord to fulfil his word in you?

 Note. Verse 31. ‘Jesus’ is the Greek form of Joshua, which means ‘God saves’. Cf. Matt. 1:21.
