For centuries, theologians have wrestled with how God could become a human being. The mystery of the incarnation—God taking on flesh—strains the limits of human comprehension. But Scripture doesn’t leave us to wonder. It tells us how it happened.

In Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Chuck Swindoll examines the angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary and the Holy Spirit’s role in bringing the Son of God into the world. The Spirit’s most significant mission was not power—it was presence, bringing Christ to earth.

Stand in wonder before the Spirit’s greatest work. Let this passage renew your awe of the incarnation and deepen your confidence in a God for whom nothing is impossible.
