Summary
Chapter 2 of Heroes in the Bible: Jesus with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by the Gospels.
You Are Chosen - Mary and Joseph are chosen to be the parents who raise the Messiah. Much will be required of Mary and Joseph to enact God’s will, thus leading us by example.
Today's opening prayer is inspired by Luke 1:30-31, And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
