Advent: Miraculous Pregnancy (Part 1)

Luke does not begin his Gospel with a full-grown Jesus or even with an infant Jesus. Luke begins his Gospel in the wombs of two women. He illustrates how God in infinite wisdom placed the weight of his entire plan of redemption on the back of an unborn baby. As God miraculously opens the womb of an old woman named Elizabeth, we learn that God is faithful and powerful to keep His promises.
