Last Sunday in Imagine, I ask how willing we would be to take on the responsibility that Mary did, and considered the feelings and emotions Mary must have felt as she struggled to understand how she would cope with the responsibility God had asked her to taken on.
Today I want to consider Mary from a slightly different perspective, that of a mother. I’m sure Mary, just like most mother’s would have dreams and ambitions for her son, but for Mary, those dreams and ambitions were already determined by God so do you think she really knew or understood just what an impact the baby she was going to give birth to, would have on this world?
None of us really know what we can really achieve in our lives. We each have our dreams and ambitions, but ultimately what we will achieve in our lives is down to God’s plans for our lives, and our desire to do God’s will for our lives.
This Christmas, I ask you to consider whether you are following God’s plan for your life.
Mary Did You Know?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will some day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will 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 will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when your 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 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 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
