“In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, ²⁷ to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. ²⁸ And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” ²⁹ But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. ³⁰ The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. ³¹ And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. ³² He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. ³³ He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” ³⁴ Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin? The Angel said: “…nothing will be impossible with God.”” Luke 1:26-34

The angel of the Lord tells Mary, “Nothing is impossible with God.” The Lord G-d created the heavens and the earth and breathed life into the first humans – nothing is impossible with G-d.  The Lord G-d was indignant with humanity, finding no one being upright except for Noah and his family, and so destroyed everything except for what Noah had put on the ark – nothing is impossible with G-d.  Moses was instructed to speak to a rock for it to bring forth water, but instead Moses struck the rock twice.  For this indiscretion, Moses was not allowed to set foot into the promised land – nothing is impossible with G-d.  Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary, and went willingly to the cross for our salvation.  He suffered a horrible death but was raised again on the third day so that death might be defeated for all believers – nothing is impossible with G-d.
