"Mary Did You Know?"
"The Messiah will lead you out of exile and bring you through the gates of your cities of captivity, back to your own land. Our King will go before you-the Lord leads on." (Micah 2:13)
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Mark Lowery's, MARY DID YOU KNOW? It always starts more questions in my heart about that little family so long ago. So, this is my addition to the song. Neither intrusion plagiarism nor impunity intended. Just my own wonderings and heart thoughts.
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would take you from Nazareth to Bethlehem to Egypt and then back to Nazareth...on a donkey?
Joseph, did you know that the baby boy born to the love of your life would demand that you not only care for but share them with the world?
Shepherds in the field, did you know that the baby boy born in your sheep's barn would not only lie in their manger but would Himself be a Shepherd and then the Lamb of God Himself to take away your sin?
Sons of David, did you know that the baby boy born in Bethlehem, the House of Bread would feed you as the Bread of Life and lead you out of bondage...if you only believe?
Angels, did you grieve to see Him leave Heaven's portals as King of Glory to be a weak and helpless thing?
Wise Men, then and now, did you know that the Christ shines light from the cradle to the grave, granting wisdom to the simple, knowledge to the ignorant?
Christians worldwide, do you know that the time draws nigh when Baby Jesus, born in a sheep stall, grew up in stature and in favor with God and man was crucified, buried, resurrected and is waiting for Word from the Father to come and take His Bride Home? He's waiting to come again as He said.
Jesus, did you know that we long for your soon coming? Of course You do. Maranatha, Alleluia.
