Advent Week 2 - The Possibility of Joy in the Darkness // Luke 1:46-55

Understandably, for both modern and ancient hearers, the virgin birth is an impossibility that keeps some of us from digging into God’s story. Interestingly, Luke highlights the impossibility as a feature and not a bug, an invitation to bring our questions and skepticism to the story of God. The impossibility also sets up Mary’s song, the Magnificat, where we learn about the possibility of joy in the darkness. Originally preached December 4, 2022.
