Will You Answer the Call?

Mary was given the most important ministry a woman could have. She accepted the Lord’s will in obedience to her calling, so Jesus would have a legal entry into mankind, not like the devil who snuck in (John 10:10). Sometimes our calling finds us, even though it’s something each person should aspire to obtain. God will allow many opportunities to come our way that He knows is the best thing for us to be involved with. It is still up to us to accept it because of our free will, not even God will override that. Mary made a decision to accept the Holy Spirit overshadowing her and impregnating her with that Holy, sinless Seed. Jesus never had the sin nature like all of mankind because God in heaven is His father. Jesus couldn’t have completed His ministry with the sin nature in Him (1 Timothy 3:16). The Son of God, God’s only begotten Son had a ministry only He could compete. We have ministries that only we can complete for the Lord. Mary accepted her calling, Jesus accepted His calling, and we must decide to accept our calling and God given purpose in life. You being uncomfortable has nothing to do with it, just do it.
