“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” (Luke 1:30) The saying of “Do not be afraid” has the meanings of advise, comfort and encouragement. In the Gospel of Luke, this saying was used several times, for example: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall name him John.” (Luke 1:13) “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11) “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” (Luke 5:10) “While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer." On hearing this, Jesus answered him, "Do not be afraid; just have faith and she will be saved."” (Luke 8:49-50) “Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32) “Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:7) Mother Mary certainly will not be afraid for she was only seeking to carry out the will of Heavenly Father. The most difficult part for her to grasp was that she had already promised to keep eternal chastity. When the angel said to 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.” Mary was filled with gratitude and said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your words.” Mary’s response “according to your word” is the beginning of human salvation. Today, if humans seek redemption, each one of us has to say, “I am willing!”
