Luke 1:35 ESV
And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.
Luke 1:35 reveals that the coming of Jesus is entirely God’s work—conceived not by human effort, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. The holiness of Christ is rooted in God’s initiative, reminding us that salvation begins with divine grace, not human ability. In this verse, Advent invites us to marvel that God enters our world through humble means to bring about a holy and saving purpose.
