Who was Mary, Mother of Jesus?

Mary was a young girl when we first hear of her in scripture. More than likely about 12 or 13 years old. She was engaged to be married to Joseph the carpenter.

The angel Gabriel appeared to her with a very important message. The sight of the angel scared her. (As it would any of us!) She was told that she had been chosen to be the mother of the Son of God. The Messiah who would deliver mankind.

Although she was shocked and afraid, her answer was one of obedience and faith.

Although Mary's calling was one of honor, it also held much pain and trials. No matter what your calling, there will also ne times of persecution and hardships.

Just keep your eyes focused on the Savior, Jesus Christ, and everything else will always be in perspective!



Mary, did you know That your baby boy Would someday 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 the storm with his hand? Did you know that your baby boy Has walked where angels trod? When you kiss your little baby You've kissed the face of God. 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 Will 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

Song lyrics of Mary Did You Know?
