The Sword That Pierced My Soul
On that fateful day long ago, the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary and told her she would bear the Son of God. Though scared and confused because she had not been with a man and was betrothed to Joseph the carpenter, she accepted God's will for her life. For thirty years she watched Jesus grow from a tiny babe into a man, and each day she wondered how he wold claim the throne of King David that God had promised him. When the day came, three years into his ministry, she found it to be far beyond her imagination. The meaning behind Simeon's words, "A sword will pierce through you own soul," became clear. Christ was not just her son but her Lord and Savior; he was God in the flesh, who would die for the sins of the world.
In The Sword That Pierced My Soul, a fictionalized account of the life of Mary, author Barbara Hodgson details what it would have been like to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, showing that though Mary was the Lord's mother, she was not unlike mothers the world over-with an undying love for her child.
