Yet, God Waits The observation of more than a few readers of Luke is that a male God overcomes a young woman, who calls herself a “slave,” acquiescing to oppression (p. 77) and rubber-stamping a divine demand (p. 81), and Mary becomes pregnant. That reading challenges Amy Peeler to read the text more carefully to see if Mary has genuine agency.
WOW!!! My initial thoughts after reading and re-reading today’s post:
In the post today, I see an incredible view of God(who is, very importantly, not male) modeling/explaining what God hopes(not simply a dream for a future happening, but a living moment by moment toward an incarnational transformation of our relationship with God.
What happens between God and Mary, gives birth to Jesus-The-Incarnate, who teaches humanity about this whole transforming event, the missional purpose we have, and, at this moment, we can do as Mary did frequently - ponder all of this and respond.
We are here in this moment because of many incarnational? responses to God’s Love and Goodness. We have much to learn along the way! Thank you, Amy, and Scot! You have enriched my day/life!
