Advent
day twenty waiting. I have been reminded
all week of the Annunciation, the Angelic announcement to Mary that she will
become pregnant with Baby God. The thing
that strikes me most about this story is not only how Protestants play down
Mary’s role in the story but how little even the Bible makes of it, a few short
verses in the Gospel of Luke. But as I
have pondered it I have come to realize that the story is so magnificent that a
library couldn’t contain it. We, as
humans, are unable to comprehend the Divine realm of God, His thoughts and
ways are beyond our understanding so there is no need for a prolonged
explanation, it just wouldn’t do any good.
However one of the great wonders of God and of Scripture including the Annunciation
is that God made us imaginer’s, which allows all faithful hearts to dwell in
wandering imagination at what really happened.
One thing for sure there is definitely going to be a lot of “Rest of the
Story” time in heaven.
