The way of the Cross…Looking through Mary’s eyes.

  Mary was young, maybe teenage when the angel came visiting. She became the custodian of Gods heart from that encounter. Heaven trusted her womb to carry the Saviour of the whole world. She was given the brief and her response till date leaves me in awe.   And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 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. Luke 1:28-35)   She pretty much said to the angel, ‘consider it done.’ Please tell me what kind of a wiring will make young Mary have such depth? Let’s just say that the angel already acknowledged that she was full of grace. And faith is by grace.
