Mary Did You Know?

I found this very powerful video online at a website called, Jokes and Jesus. The video is made up of clips from the movie The Passion of the Christ put to the music of "Mary Did You Know." Seeing as how this is the Christmas season and everywhere you look you see nothing but commercialism, I thought I try to put Christ back in Christmas with this very powerful video so everyone can truly remember not only that Jesus is the reason for the season but also WHY He is the reason for the season.

The Christmas Story

We pick up the story shortly after Mary & Joseph arrive in Bethlehem,

"And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country, shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were very afraid.
And the angel said unto them; Fear Not: For behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying; Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass, as the angels had gone away from them into Heaven, the shepherds said to one another; Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the Babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. Luke 2:7-20

Now watch the video below to see what our Savior went through so that those who believe in Him and repent of their sins might receive the gift of eternal life!

May you all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!

Love in Christ
