How can this be?
This question keeps popping up in the early chapters of Luke. First Zechariah, then Mary, and now Elizabeth. The latter two ask the question in faith. Zechariah asked in doubt.
How can this be?
True faith is an openness to what is beyond our understanding. It's a passion for the impossible, and a desire to explore the unknown. As the story of the incarnation develops in these Advent Gospels, we encounter God's desire to redeem and renew starting with our faith.
As I approach Christmas, is my heart open to what is unfamiliar, and beyond my control?
Do I have the faith to receive something new, and to say with wonder - how can this be?
