It's the question asked by a
Beautiful Christmas song.
Did she know what lay ahead for
Her son?
She had a clue.
Gabriel announced that her baby would
Be a King of an endless kingdom.
But the angel omitted the gory
Details of a cross.
The young virgin's brave response to
The angelic messenger amazes me,
Astounds me,
Sets a high standard for me.
"I am the Lord's servant. May it be
To me as you have said." *
Would Mary have submitted so
Readily if she had known the
Extent of her son's suffering, and
Her own?
I believe so.
It's why God chose her.
*Luke 1:38
