Mary Gets It

Jesus. Loved and adored by his followers, despised and hated by his opponents, a man who managed to evoke every human emotion in those he had contact with. Yet he lived and taught with rigid consistency. Never once did his message deviate from the truth he lived by. The truth he taught. The massage was always the same. "If you have seen me, you have seen my Father." "I and my Father are one." "Not my will, but my Father's will." He was the Savior, the redeemer, a teacher and a friend. He loved like no other because he was like no other. He simply was not just the son of God, He was God. Her on earth, to live and dwell among his creation. A glimpse of our Creator. A peek into the mind of God, and his message was Love. God's love so overpowering that he had to come here with us the set the path straight. To make the way new again. What makes his story so controversial? Perhaps the fact that he was controversial. The disciples saw a Messiah, the Pharisees saw a threat. The crowds saw a healer, the Sadducees saw a destroyer to their comfortable way of life. But perhaps no one saw his as clearly as Mary, the sister of Martha. This woman knew who he was. She saw the Lord. She abolished all tradition to anoint her Savior. She got it. While others ran around wondering what to do, she was doing it. Loving him back. Not trying to position herself for royalty, not trying to make a name for herself in the kingdom, not playing by society rules. She simply worshipped her Lord and poured herself out to him.
