The Angel Gabriel

“The Angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.” ~ Gospel of Luke 1:26

Do you ever wonder about the Angel Gabriel? What must he have thought as he stood silently and gently in front of Mary and watched her eyes widen in wonder? Gabriel is the bearer of good news. Now that is a dream job. Of course, Mary did not have to say yes, but it sure made his task easier.

I was at a Steve Bell Advent concert last night. He has a song entitled, The Angel Gabriel, in which the singer has not seen or heard Gabriel, but knows that a promise is held out for all of us if we but believe. Great concert! It was a wonderful way to end the Advent season. With less than a week to go, may my heart be ready.

Peace,
