The Annunciation - March 25

Annunciation Resources! The path to the cross did not begin in Bethlehem but in Nazareth! March 25 is the most appropriate time to celebrate the Incarnation. God became man at Jesus’ conception in Mary. Since our beginnings were sinful (Psalm 51:5), Jesus had to take our place from that very moment. Part of the redemptive process was for Jesus to pass through all stages of our development. What powerful implications for the value of human life from the very beginning! Jesus’ divinity and humanity at the moment of conception attest to our humanity from that moment. To assist pastors and congregations in observing the Annunciation of our Lord—and to teach the great value God in Christ places on all human life—Lutherans For Life offers—FREE OF CHARGE—these new resources: Bulletin Insert: The Miracle of the Annunciation (Click here to read insert text.)
