Mary Did You Know?
“And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed” (Luke 1:42-48).
Today's
Morsel: When we look at the Christmas Story, many fail to
understand the picture that is being painted here with Mary. What was going
on? How was Mary going to conceive without knowing a man? We all
understand that it takes a man and a woman to birth a child. The angel
Gabriel told Mary, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power
of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which
shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." This
miraculous birth was done by the Spirit of God. The Word was made flesh
and dwelt amongst us (John 1:14). Remember, Mary had to have the
seed planted inside her to conceive. The seed is the Word of God (Luke 8;
1 John 5:7). Don't be confused with the natural, as it has a spiritual
application.
Sing:
Mary did you know that your baby boy would someday walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters? Did
you know that your baby boy has come to make you new? This child that you've
delivered, will soon deliver you.
Mary,
did you know that your baby boy would give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would calm a storm with His hand? Did you
know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God. Oh Mary
did you know?
The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will walk again. The lame will
leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the Lamb.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations? Did you
know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? This sleeping child you're
holding is the Great I Am.
Thought for today: Miracles still
happen!
