I'm reading a really great book right now. It's called God Came Near by Max Lucado. Maybe you've heard of it or even read it. I read a really great chapter in it. It was entitled 25 Questions For Mary. These questions were written to make you think...
- What was it like watching Him pray?
- How did He respond when He saw other kids giggling during the service at the synagogue?
- When He saw a rainbow, did He ever mention a flood?
- Did you ever feel awkward teaching Him how He created the world?
- When He saw a lamb being led to the slaughter, did He act differently?
- Did you ever see Him with a distant look on His face as if He were listening to someone you couldn't hear?
- How did He act at funerals?
- Did the thought ever occur to you that the God to whom you were praying was asleep under you own roof?
- Did you ever try to count the stars with Him . . . and succeed?
- Did He ever come home with a black eye?
- How did He act when He got His first haircut?
- Did He have any friends by the name of Judas?
- Did He do well in school?
- Did you ever scold Him?
- Did He ever have to ask a question about Scripture?
- What do you think He thought when He saw a prostitute offering to the highest bidder the body He made?
- Did He ever get angry when someone was dishonest with Him?
- Did you ever catch Him pensively looking at the flesh on His own arm while holding a clod of dirt?
- Did He ever wake up afraid?
- Who was His best friend?
- When someone referred to Satan, how did He act?
- Did you ever accidentally call Him Father?
- What did He and His cousin John talk about as kids?
- Did His other brothers and sisters understand what was happening?
- Did you ever think, 'That's God eating my soup'?
