THE ETERNAL GOD
King David wished that the ark of God might have a
more permanent home. David may have envisioned
something like the cedar palace where he resided.
God had in mind something more: a throne where
David’s descendants would rule for ever, a kingdom
where Jews and Gentiles alike would be welcome.
Mary’s prayerful nature led to an even more
disturbing message. She would conceive and bear
a Son though she was not yet married.
“How can this come about?” Mary
wondered. “The Holy Spirit will come
upon you,” she was told (Luke 1:35). Mary’s acceptance of this difficult challenge
ushered in this, the final age of God’s reign. What
was once a secret known only by chosen people
like King David and his descendants must now be
made clear to all so that, as Saint Paul wrote to the
Romans, we can be brought to the “obedience of
faith” “according to the command of the eternal
God” (Romans 16:26).
