There is something unique about agreeing with someone or something. I've been going through a Bible study with some friends and we've been disecting Matthew. I noticed in the first chapter that Jesus came from the line of Joseph, not Mary. That's when it hit me, when Mary agreed to marry Joseph that decision aligned her under Joseph's lineage (placed her under his authority and covering) and thereby enabled her to be filled with the Holy Spirit and bear Jesus Christ.
I had to questions: Could it be that God put in Joseph's heart to chose Mary because that's who He wanted to use, or would God have used anyone that Jospeh chose to marry because of his desire to please God and his destined lineage? Did God give Joseph the use of freewill to chose whomever he desired or was there a model image built inside of Joseph that caused him to only see Mary?
Mary didn't just agree to a marriage in the natural, she was agreeing to receive from God something supernatual. "Be it unto me according to thy word."
