Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was a willing servant who found favour with God and trusted and obeyed His call. Her life held great honor, but her calling required great suffering; there was joy but also great pain in the privilege of being the Messiah’s mother. Her role in the history of salvation is foreshadowed in the Old Testament (Isaiah 7:14) where Isaiah’s prophecy predicts a virgin conceiving and giving birth to Immanuel. Imagine being chosen to bring Holiness into the world! Imagine everyone bowing to the precious gift from God you bore … the giver of life … perfect Love … God with us!
Luke 1:30-31 – “And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” Luke 1:35 - “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Isaiah 7:14 - “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Matthew 1:23 - “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
Lyrics: My beautiful boy, Holiness I see; Perfect, so pure. Your eyes, they trust in me. All creation bows to You, the skies sing Your arriving. My precious gift from God, showing all mankind the only way to life. All creation sings Your praise, the glory of God shines for all to see the Son of God, the Son of man. You are perfection promised, giver of life for all eternity. My little one … perfect love.
Imagine hearing Mary’s story someday … in person! Friend, the Bible tells us we can know we are going to heaven … and how to get there by accepting “Perfect Love’s” gift. It is a decision you must make before you die, so don’t delay! Receive the Holy Spirit and live with our Saviour in heaven forever!
