Two from Galilee page 8 by ric gustafson
Mary entered the stable cave to give their donkey some water.
" Mary".
" Yes father". She heard her name. " Here I am".
" Mary".
She realized it was not her father's voice. She walked over to the doorway. She looked out. She saw nothing. She went back to the donkey. Then she noticed a strong light coming through the doorway.
" Mary, God has an important message for you".
" What is it that the Lord would have of me?".
" Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son". The quiet voice hesitated. " And you shall call his name Jesus".
" Jesus?".
" He will be great". The quiet voice hesitated again. " He will be called the Son of the Most High".
" The Messiah". Mary gasped. " I am to bear the Messiah".
" And his kingdom there will be no end".
Mary cried. " I am unworthy".
" This child he will send you will be human as well as holy".
" But I am not yet married". Mary had a scared voice. " It will be months before I come to my husband's bed".
" With God, all things are possible".
" Behold, I am the willing hand maiden of the Lord".
