“Nothing will be impossible for God.” When the angel speaks of God here, he uses the future tense. In the present moment, we only see what is, but in the use of future tense, we have a sense of hope. It’s an anticipation of what is yet to come. With God, there is always more possibility. The barren conceived a child and the virgin will as well. It doesn’t matter if there was no relation to man or if one is beyond her years of fertility. God will transcend. Goodness will prevail. God’s will shall come into being. This is hope. The present circumstances may be suffering, but God isn’t done yet. There will be more that God will have come into being.
