But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. Luke 2:19
A young mother after delivering her baby boy is visited by strangers who have come to see and worship. How much more was she, herself, struck with awe and wonder at all that was happening?
A young woman watches as her son, in growing up, seems to be growing away from his parents. He must be about his Father’s business in the temple rather than keeping up with his mother and father on their travels. Did she know what that business was to be?
As a guest attending a wedding with her son, watching water become wine, could she grasp the significance of this miracle?
All those memories and experiences – so mysterious – that were treasured up in her heart: prophecies, prayers, angels, worshiping shepherds and wise men, miracles, ministry, teaching. Did she know where this road would lead? Could she possibly have envisioned Calvary?
Simeon prophesied that a sword would pierce her soul. Did she remember those words when she watched a sword pierce the side of her beloved son?
Mary, Did You Know?
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?
When you kissed your little baby, you kissed the face of God.
Oh Mary did you know---
The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live 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 will 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.
