Transforming Obedience—Six Sentence Story

The promise moved from Eve down through the generations. At each dip along the way the Lord was faithful to break every faithless fall.

Finally, as sure as the rising of the sun but against every natural odd, the promise reached a young virgin whom we know today as Maria or Mary. As a servant of the Lord she spoke the simple, but universe transforming, words of obedience: Be it done unto me according to your word.

And so it was.

Mary gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem Who would fulfill the promise the Lord made to Eve long, long ago.
