For Nothing is Impossible with God

“For nothing will be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37).

“For nothing is impossible with God.”

These were the words the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary when he announced that Mary would be the mother of the Savior of the world.

Only one problem: Mary was a virgin.

You have trouble believing in the virgin birth? You’re not the only one, and neither are you the first. The first doubter of the virgin birth was Mary herself.

Mary asks the angel, “How can this be since I am a virgin?” (Luke 1:34).

If anyone knew Mary was a virgin, it was Mary. She knew she had never been with a man.

Gabriel tells Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God…For nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:35, 37).

For nothing is impossible with God. This is the key. This is the turning point for Mary. Once Mary concedes that nothing is impossible with God, everything is possible with God!
