Welcome to our Christmas table! My co-hosts and I have a fun conversation around two encounters with the angel Gabriel. It makes sense to us that God would break the 400 years of silence by sending an angel to speak to a priest. The table flipping moment is when Gabriel appears to a young girl from Nazareth. There are many table flipping things in our Luke 1:5-45 text.
I love all the details that occur between Elizabeth and Mary.
- Elizabeth's baby leaps for joy
- Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit
- Elizabeth confesses that Mary's baby is her Lord
- An older woman and a young woman are both chosen for miraculous births.
