Mary embraced Mystery.  All the things that were said about Jesus baffled Mary.   We are rational beings.  We think we have to explain everything.  He is more profound than all of our lofty theology about Him.  You cannot explain Him nor all of His ways in your life.  He is working a great story in your life, as He did in Mary’s life that is beyond comprehension.  Surrender to Him!  Trust Him!  Embrace the Mystery! It will be better than you think!  

“Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart” Luke 2:19, (NASB).
