Tune in as Joni reflects on how Mary treasured and pondered the wonder of Jesus’s life. Pause today and meditate on how precious he truly is to you.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And Luke 2:19 describes Mary’s reaction when the shepherds told her about the angels’ announcement of Jesus birth. It says she “treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.” It’s not the only time she did that. As Jesus grew older, there were other occasions when Mary treasured and pondered the meaning behind his life and his ministry. We treasure Christ because he is precious. We ponder Christ when we rally our memory, affections, and intellect to understand just how supremely precious he is! And Mary leaves us a great example. When we weigh who Jesus is, and what he has done, we are not only enriched, but he is glorified. So, train your memory to treasure up everything about Jesus: things which you have felt, known, and believed about him. Ponder the time you first heard of him, and all that he has done for you. Then you’ll discover just how precious Jesus really is.
