Notes taken from the book “Lass dein Heil uns schauen” by Pastor Wilhelm Busch.

”HOW WILL THIS BE?'” Luke 1:34

A.  MARY  Luke 1:34

Mary asked, “‘How will this be?'” when the Angel Gabriel told her that she was chosen to be the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ.

B. ABRAHAM  Genesis 17:17 and Genesis 21:5

When God promised a son to Abraham, “Abraham fell facedown; he laughed  and said to himself, ‘Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?'”

What did God answer? “‘Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, …'”

C.  MOSES Numbers 11:21

They were in the desert and God promised that there would be meat for the people in the desert.

Moses said, “‘Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?'”

The LORD answered, “‘Is the LORD’S arm too short?'”

Pastor W. Busch tells this story:

When a missionary with his fellow worker was standing in China on a hill beside a place where idols were worshipped he asked, “Do you think that we will ever have a Christian Church at this place?” His fellow worker shook his head and said, “No, I cannot, but God can.”
