Mary's Boy Child - by Harry Belafonte

I love this older version.
It is so sensitive....
Have you ever thought how old Mary was when the Angel visited her?
It is supposed she was between 12-14years...very young indeed.
Young to have not been afraid when the Angel visited her.
Young to be brave enough to risk a stoning for expecting a child when not married.
Young to have such a complete faith in God.
Young to stand firm in that faith.

 In Mary's own Words she confesses:

"My soul magnifies the Lord,

And my spirit rejoices

In God My Saviour."

Luke  Chap 1 Verse 46.

Only a sinner needs a savour, yet here we read Mary confesses to her own imperfection.
What a wonderful young woman.
No wonder God chose her, as the mother of Jesus.

As a nurse I know a child mainly has the same blood grouping of its father.
The blood in Jesus, came from the Father.

God or The devil

I have had much trouble posting this, which tells me, satan, the great deciever, does not want it known.

A beautiful young girl, perhaps about fourteen years of age, had a visitation from an Angel.
She was special, and she proves this by her great faith.
When the Angels tells her, she is to be mother of the Savour of the world there is no hesitation.

Many of us would have been horrified!
Who wants their own family to possibly disown them?
Who cherishes the thought of being taken to the town square and stoned to death?

But Mary spoke these words:
"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my soul rejoices in God my Savour."
Mary herself, subjects herself, and proclaims herself, a sinner.
She rejoices in God as her Savour.
She was not a bad person.
But just as all humanity is born into sin, so was Mary.
And she proclaimed this.

Jesus said, "I am the truth the life and the way, no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14:6 Do you believe this?

Does the Word of God change?
"Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows."
James 1:17



“Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt.
Serve the LORD!
And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:14-15 (N K J Version)
