first hand

"For nothing is impossible with God."

Luke 1:37

This is the angel, Gabriel, talking here.

He has just told Mary that she, a virgin, will conceive the son of God by the Holy Spirit.

Mary has just wanted to know how this is gonna happen.

Gabriel has self described as an angel who stands in the very presence of God.

I would think that is pretty daunting, considering God is infinitely holy & infinitely the quintessence of love.

Anyway, I figure that if Gabriel stands in the very presence of God, he ought to know what he's talking about if he says nothing is impossible with God.

I would assume he is speaking from experience / first hand knowledge, not hearsay?

Just a thought...
