The surprise of God
John the baptist is announced before Jesus. Zacharia and Elizabeth, who was barren, are told to expect a son. Then six months later the same angel goes to galilee and speaks of another child, Jesus. Mary, a young girl of no more than 14, betrothed to another nobody by the name of Joseph. The angel says her son will be a king. And his kingdom will never end. He was born to a poor family to an utter lack of fanfare. He came not in power, but rather in service.
