    Big Idea

    Nothing is impossible with God — and we can trust His plan like Mary did.

    Story Summary

    God sent the angel Gabriel to a town called Nazareth, to a young woman named Mary who was promised in marriage to Joseph. Gabriel said, "Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God," and told her she would have a son and call His name JESUS. Mary wondered how this could be, and the angel answered that nothing is impossible with God. Mary trusted God and said yes to His plan.
