The Vessel of Christ
The Vessel of Christ is a beautiful retelling of the story of Mary's conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with Jesus. It is told through the lens of a midwife, and includes rich, beautiful imageries of Mary, a real woman having a real pregnancy and birth. Have you ever wondered: what was her pregnancy like? What foods did she eat? Who did she confide in? What was Joseph's reaction to her news? And was her birth really painless? Was she really alone, only with Joseph in the manger?
I'd say: God chose her on purpose for the journey ahead of being the mother of Christ. She had to be wildly strong. And why would God spare Mary or any other woman the experience of labor? It is here, as she is brought to her edge and beyond, that she realizes she needs God, and that He stands beside her all along.
This is a story of God-with-us. And it is the story of the midwife's role in walking alongside Mary throughout it all.
If you love this book (and I hope you do!), there are offerings here, too, for a Vessel of Christ bookclub (with free printable Host and Participant packets, for your women's book club), and also a year-long walk together using The Vessel of Christ as a backdrop to a seasonal gathering of women who are seeking a deeper connection with Jesus as they are called by Him to bring something unique to life.
