God did not choose a loudmouthed, self-centered, complaining,
manipulative and controlling woman to bear His Son Jesus Christ, but
instead He favored Mary, a humble, submissive woman who was willing to
do whatever God asked of her.
She had to travel while pregnant,
and when there was no hotel available she was willing to allow her baby
Jesus to be born in a barn without complaining and blaming her husband
for not taking better care of her. (See Luke 2:1-7)
When an angel
of the Lord appeared to her husband Joseph, a good man, (See Matthew
1:19) in a dream and told him to get up and flee to Egypt and stay there
till King Herod who was searching to kill baby Jesus died, Mary
obediently and humbly followed her husbands’ leading, and left her
country and family. (See Matthew 2:13-23)
With Joseph and Mary, God set the example of what a godly marriage is supposed to look like!
