Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know..

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you’re holding is the Great, I Am.

⁴⁶ After three days (of looking for him) they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. ⁴⁷ Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. ⁴⁸ When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”

⁴⁹ “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”  ⁵⁰ But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

⁵¹ Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
Luke 2: 46-51

He asks her:  “Didn’t you know…?”
Of course, even with what she had been told from the beginning,  she didn’t really know and understand.
What Jesus had been sent to do was beyond her wildest dreams.

She must have been frantic looking for him in the big city of Jerusalem, yet didn’t right away think to look in the temple with the teachers.
He was just a boy lost, her very own son missing.  There is nothing more frightening than not knowing where your child is and where to look for him.

Yet He — God with us — was never missing–that is what was astonishing to her.
She, and we, lose sight of who He is, not knowing where to look.
She, and we, are the lost, now found.
