What connects the creation of the universe, the Tabernacle in the wilderness, and a young virgin in the village of Nazareth?
From the opening pages of Genesis to the beginning of the New Testament, Scripture reveals the Holy Spirit at work in remarkable and deeply connected ways. In Genesis, He hovers over the formless creation. In Luke 1, we encounter the Spirit again—hovering, overshadowing, and preparing for one of the greatest mysteries in all of Scripture: the incarnation of Christ.
In The Hovering Spirit — Part 2, we explore the fascinating parallels between creation and the coming of Jesus, and consider what Gabriel’s words to Mary reveal about the Spirit’s unique work in God’s plan of redemption.
How does the vast work of creation connect to what happened quietly in a womb in Nazareth? And why does the Spirit’s work in that moment still matter to believers today?
