"She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn" - Luke 2: 7.
This week we wrap up our miniseries on accompanying Mary through the Advent season by reflecting upon her silent surrender. This new and yet docile mother allowed God to lead the way as she gave birth in a stable and laid her newborn son in what once was a feeding trough for the animals.
But it wasn't merely her ability to quietly surrender to God's will in the difficulties of her story that made her silent surrender something to be awed at. No, Mary quietly surrendered even with the miraculous and glorious reception of all that is good. For, even after the shepherds declared all that the angels had told them about the birth of the Messiah, Mary "treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart"
If this episode blessed you, I would be so honored if you shared it with a friend, rated it, or left us a review!
