All without the benefit of witnessing a single miracle or sermon?

Anyone have a similar story?

Many I am sure. (And how do we know that she did not witness any miracles or sermons? I'm sure she attended the Synagogue)

God speaks to the heart, why not to those that haven't heard the gospel, which would include those many that are "without the benefit of witnessing a single miracle or sermon?"

Many in the Old Testament became "Christians" from this method.

NIV Romans 15:21 Rather, as it is written: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."
A teacher from whom I learned a lot about the Bible used to say you can find Jesus on every page of the Old Testament.

Also that the New Testament is hidden in the OT, the OT is revealed in the NT.

I’m sorry brother...

Clearly I should have been specific. Mary had come to believe in Christ without the benefit of witnessing a single miracle or sermon... because she believed in Jesus before Jesus was even born.

In this way she was very much unlike the Apostles.
