Mary did you know - I sure didn't....

Picture
​Most of us are familiar with the Christmas song - Mary Did You Know? The song is occasionally criticized for not being biblical. If you've read the Christmas story, you know Mary DID indeed know her baby would be the Savior.

So I guess some people think the song asks a question the bible clearly answers. As if we all don't occasionally ask questions we already know the answer to....??

I think the song writer is fairly asking what I would like to ask. I mean, you, Mary, a teenager, leaning on nothing but the words of an angel, did you REALLY know what that baby would be? What it would be to you and to me and to the world. Did you really see walk on water and sight to a blind man coming?

Were you really not blind-sighted to any of it?

I ask that with great sincerity. And curiosity. Because I know this - I had no idea what was coming when that baby came into my life. I couldn't begin to anticipate the magnitude of the miracles that were coming my way. I AM sight to a blind man. I AM the hopeless overwhelmed with hope. I AM darkness filled with light.

A brilliant and beautiful light.

I wonder - do some people not take hold of this Jesus story because they, too, don't know what's coming. Maybe Mary didn't fully know, but she eventually did. Oh how she knew.

I mean, I have proud "did you see what my boys just did" talks with you all here. Can you imagine the chats Mary had on Facebook 🤷‍♂️ - or, in the temple, with the other parents around her?

I didn't know what this baby Jesus would do. But now I do. And what I know, this Christmas season, no matter where I am or what I'm doing and facing, I have sight and hope and light like I never imagined.

There's a day when it would have been fair to ask, Keith did you know? And the answer would have been no.

But ask me today. The answer is yes now.

I know.

Every single day - I know.

He's there for us all to know. Maybe you don't know now. Man do I completely get that. But you can know.

That baby is always just one angel away....
