The one person who experienced it all like no one else was Mary, the mother of Jesus.  I want to consider Jesus' life, death, and resurrection from Mary's perspective. What did she think from the very beginning? What were her challenges as she watched Jesus grow up? How did she feel about the launching of his ministry? What were her concerns as she saw various people's reactions? And how did she respond first to his death and then the news of his resurrection? My new series titled "Hope Alive" I pray will inspire and encourage us in the midst of our own uncertain or difficult circumstances.
