The announcement of Jesus' birth by the angel to Mary is one of the most rich and beautiful moments in the Gospels. The angel's revelation of Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah is one of the key passages of the Christian faith, and Mary's response to the news has long been held up as an example of robust faith and courage.
In The Mother of God, Timothy Keller, pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church and New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God, explains why this encounter is so significant, and draws deep life lessons for all Christians to follow in the example of Mary.
