Mary's Silence

We were approaching the climax of the Mark Lowry concert this evening, and Mark was introducing his great song "Mary Did You Know?" As he talked about the song and the inspiration behind it, he made a very profound statement. He said that "the silence of Mary at the cross is one of the greatest proofs that she knew Who He was." I thought about that statement throughout the rest of the concert, and all the way home in the car.

The fact is, the Bible does not record her saying anything at the cross. She just watched as He died. Because she knew Who He was. She knew why He came. And she knew that the cross was the only way. So she didn't speak up and try to stop it - but remained silent.

If you wonder Who Jesus is, may I challenge you to think about His mother's silence at the foot of the cross?
