Rejoice!
He seemed so ordinary, just a normal baby boy. But this tiny one is God's own Son... who came to deliver us. Have you ever observed Mary's silence at the cross? Mary never said a word. Is that because she was remembering that first Christmas, remembering touching his little hands and feet and counting his fingers and toes?
"I wonder if she realized then that those were the same fingers that had scooped out the oceans and formed the seas. Mary probably counted those little toes - I wonder if she realized that those were the same feet that had walked on streets of gold and had been worshiped by angels. Those little lips were the same lips that had spoken the world into existence. When Mary kissed her little baby, she wasn't just kissing another baby - she was kissing the face of God.
Thirty-three years later she's standing on a hillside watching blood pour from His veins, from the side of her own son... and she didn't open her mouth. What a great testimony to the fact that He wasn't just a great prophet, He wasn't just a great preacher, He wasn't just a great teacher, He was the virgin-born son of God. He was our Savior. And... He didn't just die for us, He died for His own mother. The baby boy she had delivered on that first Christmas was now on a cross delivering her." (Mark Lowry)
