Luke 1 · Grade 3
Mary Trusts God
Read the Story
Luke 1 tells about two surprising messages from God. First, an angel came to a priest named Zechariah. He said Zechariah's wife Elizabeth would have a son. They were very old! Their son, John, would get people ready for the Lord. Because Zechariah did not believe, he was unable to speak until John was born.
Six months later, God sent the angel Gabriel to Mary in the town of Nazareth. Gabriel told her she would have a son and name Him Jesus. He would be called the Son of the Most High. His kingdom would never end. Mary said she was the Lord's servant. She was ready to obey God.
Mary went to visit Elizabeth, and they praised God together. When John was born, Zechariah wrote, His name is John. Right away he could speak again. He was filled with the Holy Spirit and praised God.
