On the night of Your birth, who could have imagined the events that had been set in motion? Could Mary—who had heard and seen Your angel and to whom the promise had been spoken—even have guessed what her last, long birth pang instigated? She had the broad outline. She knew the general direction. But even Mary could not fathom the wonderful plan of outrageous grace by which her little baby would save His people from their sins.
When Your Incarnation began as a formless group of cells in Mary’s womb, my salvation had already begun. Before Your little toddler feet ever took their first steps, Your walk up Calvary’s hill had commenced. When You moved from Mary’s womb into the expanse of earth, You were taking the first step toward the Cross. (Pursuing the Christ by Jennifer Kennedy Dean)
