With God nothing shall be impossible

Mary asked the angel how she, a virgin, could conceive and bear a son. The angel explained, and added, "With God, nothing shall be impossible." A greater miracle than that is the very fact that the Son of  God should become the Son of Mary, that within the small space of her womb would be him whom the universe cannot contain. And so also, there is the great miracle of our salvation: that we poor sinners who do not merit anything good should receive the gift of life and salvation through this Christ Child who came to give his life and to rise from the dead. And there is also the great miracle that we, in the midst of a troubled world with its griefs and sorrows, should gain this promise that we shall inherit heaven and be raised incorruptible at the last day when He comes again in glory. But with God nothing shall be impossible. Sermon for Midweek of  Advent II. The video is here.
