Jesus and All the Consequences

Daily Reading:  Luke 1:26-38

 

Imagine how Mary must have felt. 

 

An angel brought some amazing - yet slightly uncomfortable news: 

 

She was going to have a baby.  

 

And this baby would be unlike any baby ever born - He would be the Son of God.

 

And Mary took this baby and all the consequences.  All the ridicule.  All the glances.  All the people that wouldn't understand. 

 

Mary said "yes". 

 

Is it possible that God is asking you to do something wonderful - yet slightly uncomfortable?   It might be standing up for Him in a way you’ve never done before.  It might be stepping into a ministry you’ve never done before.  It might be sharing your faith with a friend.  Or it might be doing the hard work to mend a relationship. 

 

Why not take Jesus and all the consequences?  Why not give Him the gift of a heart that says "Yes".
