Mary, Did You Know?

The words of Mark Lowry:
“One thing they couldn’t take from Mary was that she knew her Child was not ordinary.

At the cross on Mount Calvary, while Jesus was dying, her silence was a great testimony to the fact of who he was and is. He said to them, ‘When you have seen me, you have seen the Creator.’ Of course, for this they nailed him to a cross, and his mother never said a word.

As my mind went back to the manger scene, I began to think about the power, authority and majesty she cradled in her arms. Those little lips were the same lips that had spoken worlds into existence. All of those things were contained in the young child lying quietly on her bosom. Even now, he was the very one who had given life to his mother, Mary.”

The author of the song, Mark Lowry, began writing a list of questions he would like to ask Mary if he could sit down with her — questions such as, ‘Mary, do you know who is in your arms?’ ‘Did you know the one who holds creation together, and the one who holds you together is lying helpless in the manger?’ ‘Did you know that your baby boy will walk on water, give sight to a blind man and calm a storm at sea with his hand?’  (Taken from http://staugustine.com/)

Did Mary know just how important Jesus was to her? To us?
Thousands of years later the one that was born in a manger gives us hope, peace, joy, love; all from the stable.
