Hello kids Hello holy
You are back to tell more stories from the Bible right oh yes I am so which story are you going to tell us

of all the remarkable women in the Bible that would be fun wouldn't it oh yes
that'd be super fun it's all about girl power all right then
gumbo tubby does that sound fun to you too um yes holy sounds quite interesting all
right then our first story will be about Mary Mary Magdalene no today we're going
to hear the story of Mary the mother of the Son of God Jesus Mary was a maiden
who lived in Nazareth a small town in the city of Galilee she was betrothed to
get married to a young man called Joseph who was a carpenter Mary was an obedient
servant of the Lord and blindly believed in God one day as she was cleaning up
her house an angel of God named Gabriel appeared to her and said
marry God has chosen you as the woman who is going to give birth to the
Messiah Mary was scared Gabriel said to her do not be afraid Mary for you have
found favor with God you will soon bear a son and you shall
name him Jesus he will be the son of God and greatest of all the world will be
his kingdom and there will be no end to it
the faithful obedient and trusting servant of God that Mary was she
submitted herself to the Lord's will she said whatever the Lord says I am the
servant of the Lord but how will I bear a son and the angel answered the Holy
Spirit will come upon you and the power of God will overshadow you and your Holy
Child shall be born the earth will have with them the Son of God saying this
good rule left hearing this news Mary immediately went to Elizabeth Elizabeth
was the wife of Zechariah who was destined to give birth through John the
Baptist when Elizabeth heard the news from Mary
the baby in Elizabeth's womb leptin glory and soon Elizabeth was filled with
the Holy Spirit she said you are the Blessed one among all the women Mary and
blessed is the child you will bear but why did the Lord shower so much favor on
me that the mother of my lord should come to visit me the moment I heard your
news with my ears the baby inside me left and joy
the Lord has blessed you Mary for the immense faith you have in the Lord
few days past and one night Joseph had a dream an angel appeared to him and
guided him to go to Bethlehem with Mary the journey was long and very tiring for
Mary once they reached Bethlehem it was time for Mary to give birth to the Son
of God soon Mary gave birth to baby Jesus in a manger where all the animals
bowed down at sight of the baby it is believed that Mary was Jesus's first
disciple when Jesus was still very young they were invited to a wedding at Cana
in Galilee the wine at the wedding had run out so Mary came up to Jesus and
said they have no wine to this jesus replied very gently what can I do mother
my hour has not come yet Mary understood what Jesus was trying to say she
believed in his words and said to the servants do as he says
that's when mary became jesus's very first disciple she had faith in him as
the son of God Jesus was not the only child of Mary Mary gave birth to other
children also who were addressed as Jesus's brothers in many places in the
Bible the day Jesus was to be crucified Mary
Mary Magdalene and Mary's sister all of them stood next to Jesus's cross when
Jesus saw his mother he looked at John his most loved disciple and said behold
your mother then he looked at his mother and said Behold your son
from that moment onward John took Mary to his home and loved her no less than
his own mother after Jesus's death Mary the mother of Jesus
along with his twelve disciples and the other women prayed together for the
spirit in Jerusalem they committed their lives to devotion and prayer so Mary of
Nazareth was one of the most important women of the Bible as she gave birth to
Jesus the Son of God Wow that's a wonderful story holy thank you for
