Step into Mary and Joseph’s shoes
When I read of how Mary and Joseph came to know about the coming Messiah (Luke 1:2638 and Matthew 1:1825), I find myself taking a step into their shoes for a moment. How hard it must have been for Mary. She was unwed, still a virgin, and very young. What would her parents think? What would her friends say? Who would believe her when she claimed that it was a miraculous conception? Eventually, her “condition” would be visible for all to see and she’d be the talk of the town. And that’s not to even mention how her betrothed Joseph would look at her. What if he thought she had been unfaithful, and “loose” at that? And yet, in the description of Mary being told of this, we are told she’s confused, perhaps asking HOW it could happen, and she’s a tad disturbed as she’s trying to figure out what the angel even means with his news. We never see that she won’t go through with it. We never see her waiver or beg for it to go to another person. She is comforted in her fear, and says, “I serve the Lord, may all you say come true.”
