Filipino Christmas Thoughts

DAY 1 OF 4

MARY DID YOU KNOW?

It's Christmas time! Imagine with me for a moment when Mary's little baby Jesus, the very reason we celebrate Christmas, was born more than two thousand years ago.

Surely, she must have marveled at how beautiful He was. But being a young mother, she too must have cringed at the thought of caring for someone so helpless—that her carefree young life would now be radically altered while she nursed this infant to adulthood.

But remember, Mary knew WHO this baby was: the promised Messiah! The angel told her so!

Picture Mary, heartbeat racing—better yet, heart bursting—even as she lovingly beheld her baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. She was in breathing distance with God Himself, her Lord and Savior!

Sharing with you what should officially become everyone's Christmas anthem, composed by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene:

MARY DID YOU KNOW?

Mary did you know that your baby boy
Would some day 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?
And when you 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!

Prayer: Thank you Jesus for saving me from sin and reconciling me with the Father. I'm sorry that I've taken Christmas quite lightly. Help me to meditate on its significance. I offer you my heart and my life in return, as a pleasing sacrifice to you my Savior. Thank you for adopting me as your child. In your name I pray.
