Saturday, Dec 19 - Who Am I? I collect nativity scenes. I have them from all over the world; and they are placed all over my house. I enjoy putting them out every Christmas. Some years I hold back on just how many get unwrapped; I go for simplicity. Other years, they all go up. No matter how many go on the shelves, as I put the figures in place, there is a question that seems to hang over my head: Who am I in the Christmas story? Over the next few days, let's explore each figure, their character traits, and the role they played in the <strong>Jesus</strong>-story. Mary. I know. We've already looked at Mary some little bit. So, here's what I see in this woman: Pure in heart. Teachable. Humble. Surrendered. Sacrificial. Willing to be willing. Obedient. Reflective. Ready. Faith-full! Filled with God (literally and metaphorically). Not fear-less, but courageous. Human. Here are some of my favorite God-words about Mary. Greetings, O favored one (highly sought after, filled with grace), the Lord is with you! (Luke 1:28, 30) And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." (Luke 1:38) Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord. (Luke 1:45) My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant... (Luke 1:46-48) Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. (Luke 2:19) As we read God's words, we can see so much depth of character between the lines, in the woman God chose to mother His Son. If anyone had a mama's heart, Mary did! If anyone understood what it meant to be a servant of the Lord Most High, Mary did! If anyone willingly surrendered her life to sacrificial obedience - it was Mary! Are you Mary? 28
Am I? If I'm a Mary, then I am a surrendered servant willing to be willing to receive from God's hand whatever He asks... Ah, but there are still more folks around that manger at which to take a good long glance. 29
