Mary Mother of Jesus

 

Mary was chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus. When she was a teenager, just about old enough to be married, she had a visit from an angel. This was God’s messenger, telling her that she was going to have a baby boy – and he would be God’s son! Mary was shocked and surprised, but wanted to please God so she agreed to this wonderful plan. In Luke 1:38 we can read what Mary said, "Mary responded 'I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true'. And then the angel left her."

 

She and Joseph stayed together and travelled down to Bethlehem to have the baby.

Sadly, all the hotels were full when they got there, but a kind man lent them his stable for the night. Jesus was born, and everyone was excited. Shepherds came in from the fields to say hello, the angels formed a choir to sing a welcome to Jesus, and later some rich men came from miles away to see the young boy! Mary was thrilled that the angel’s promise had come true. Jesus, God's son, had arrived.

 

She was with Jesus when he died on the cross and went to the tomb and realised that he had risen from the dead.

 

Mary’s love and obedience to God have been an inspiration to millions of people all over the world.
