I have decided that I am going to do some posts about the different people involved in the story of Christmas. I hope that this will not only help me understand Christmas more but, hopefully help you this Christmas season as well.
Through Luke 1:26-38 Mary shows total obedience. She says, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." Mary doesn't complain like most of us would, and as we can imagine she must have been terrified. Imagine this teenager visited by an angel, telling her that as a virgin she would give birth to Jesus. I would personally think that the whole thing was some joke, I would most likely run and hide. But Mary did the complete opposite... she obeyed. Mary obeyed like none of us have before, she agreed to give birth to Jesus as a virgin teen.
This is the first of MANY posts coming up this next week. We will most likely learn more about Mary through the week, but I figured this was a good start. I think today is a wonderful day to try to be a bit more like Mary and be God's servant.
