As much as this reading is about a woman who had no children and the promise of a son, it is more about the grace of the Godhead. The word “angel” refers to a messenger. It is not always a reference to an angelic being. Here, we have the Messenger (Christ) sent from Jehovah (Father), and later the Spirit of Jehovah (v. 25). All three members of the Godhead participated personally in blessing this husband and wife with a son. The same divine Persons desire to bless me and you, too. Let us be humble enough to study the Bible, pray fervently, and live faithfully so that the One True God can make use of us for His glory and the benefit of our fellow human beings.
