Mary said, “How can this be, for I am a virgin?” The angel replied, “The Holy Ghost will come upon you, and the power of the most high will overshadow you.”
There will be no doubt that which is born in her will be of God. That which is impossible will be made possible by the word and power of God.
The angel then says, “For that reason.”
In this definition of reason, the cause, the ground, the origin—this is authored by God. Just as in the beginning of creation the Holy Ghost overshadowed the deep and God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Now the new creation was to come forth, a holy Child, the Son of God. Now light has come to the darkest place in creation, the hearts, the souls, of fallen man.
The light of the world. Let there be light.
As we celebrate His birth, may the Holy Ghost overshadow you and you know His power. Glory to God in the Highest
