Yes, you read that right. The Immaculate Contraception.
D2 starts playing “Greensleeves” on the piano
What child is this, who, laid to rest, on Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, come rich and poor to own Him. The King of Kings, salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him. This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Angels greet with anthems sweet
I wonder what those angels thought when they saw God’s one and only begotten son on the Earth. I surmise they were gladdened and frightened at the same time, at once happy to see their Lord but also afraid of why it was necessary for him to go down to Earth. I wonder if the angels knew what His purpose was then. I suspect they had a clue but had not the slightest idea, similar to Aslan’s closest confidants knowing little about the Deep Magic. I wonder if Jesus could hear the angels’ sweet anthems. I would have to expect He could hear angels' voices with his omniscient powers, even as a newborn Babe.
Shepherds watch are keeping
I wonder what those shepherds thought when they saw God’s one and only begotten son in person. I surmise they were overjoyed to have found their Messiah, the Christ Savior mentioned so often in prophecies. I wonder what the shepherds believed His purpose was then. I suspect they believed Him to be a literal king, raising glorious Jewish armies to conquer the Roman Empire and restoring the kingdom of Israel. I wonder if Jesus knew why the shepherds kept watch over him. I would have to expect He could foresee the day where they would forsake him, mercilessly calling for His death while he walked up the hills of Golgotha.
Bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
I wonder what the three Magi thought when they met God’s one and only begotten son. I surmise they were relieved to have found Him, the Jewish king predicted by the Star of Bethlehem. I wonder what the three Magi believed His purpose was then. I suspect they had hope for the Jewish nation, as the prophecies foretold great things would come of this Babe. I wonder if Jesus knew why Casper, Melchior and Balthazar gave him three gifts. I would have to expect that He knew the incense was for His death, the gold for His riches, and most important was the myrrh that christened Christ as Lord and Savior of all.
Salvation brings
Only by the blood of Jesus, a man without sin, can we all be redeemed.
Let loving hearts enthrone him
So that hating hearts crucify him. I wonder, how bittersweet was Palm Sunday for our Lord and Savior? I cannot begin to imagine.
The Son of Mary
I wonder what the young Virgin Mary thought of God’s one and only begotten son. I surmise she did feel worthy of bearing such an important person, the one who would correct the original mistake made in the garden of Eden. I wonder what she believed His purpose was then. I suspect she had no idea of the cross her son would have to carry, betrayed by a close friend in the garden of Gethsemane. I wonder if Mary’s son knew how His mom would react to that fateful day, when those sinister nails pierced his hands and feet. I would have to expect that Jesus understood Mary would shed sorrowful saline just like any other caring mother would.
D2’s heresy of the Immaculate Contraception
I wonder why people call Christ’s birth the Immaculate Conception instead of the Immaculate Contraception. I surmise most people would say a “virgin” conceiving a baby is unscientific and illogical enough that we could call such a conception miraculous, or immaculate as the case may be here. I wonder if Joseph and Mary had sexual intercourse before Jesus was born, for people like me are rare, a virgin of twenty one years of age. I suspect Jesus's parents just might have given into their passions as young people are apt to do, drawn to each other in that magical moment. I wonder if Jesus knew his real father was Joseph, for it is said Christ is descended from the paternal lineage of Abraham. I would have to expect that Jesus knew the Truth, for Jesus is Truth.
God used Immaculate Contraception to prevent Joseph’s sperm from penetrating one of the “Virgin” Mary’s eggs until it was time for the Immaculate Conception, if you know what I mean.
