Let me ask all you mothers out there a quick question -  what comes to mind when you hear the title of today’s worship podcast?  “A Mother’s Secret”.  

For me, I think of those cherished moments or  wonderful secrets that  you and your child share,  for a time.

Mary, the eartly mother of Jesus, knew a wonderful secret about her son.  But  after those initial visitors acknowledged the Messiah in her arms that holy evening of his birth,  she also knew that she had but a few years to hold his mission in trust, until His time had come.

Today, we’re going to talk a little bit more about what this mother knew for a time, and what it meant to others once it was time to reveal it to the world.
