AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 15:6 he is not to honor his father or his mother [by helping them with their need].' So by this you have invalidated the word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect] for the sake of your tradition [handed down by the elders]. |

Bible Note: I do say that Mary was blessed because she was in fact the mother of the humanity of Jesus. I don’t say that she was the mother of God, because God had no mother. She was nothing more then a vehicle Through whom God worked to bring His Son into the world I wouldn’t say that she was lucky, she was blessed, and that being because she was used of God. She is even more blessed because she believed in her Son as to who he was and what he did for her. The fact is Jesus died for her sins the same as he did mine and he gave her eternal life the same as he did me only because she trusted and relied on him as her savior. If she hadn’t trusted in the finished work that her Son did on the cross do you think that she still would have eternal like just because she gave birth to Jesus? Did she earn or deserve to be chosen by God to give birth to His Son, other then the fact of her linage? She was chosen because of her relationship to King David, not because she was special, she had to be the one, that why the linage is depicted so carefully in the book of Luke not for her sake but so that Christ would be of the royal linage of his ancestral father David; Jesus is the emphasis not Mary! It a good thing people don’t know where the ground is that Moses stood on while viewing the burning bush if they did they would probably put is in a shrine or something and assume that it had mystical powers! Believers don’t need all that extra gobbledygook, Jesus is alive and He is all that is needed and he wants to have a living meaningful relationship with people. You like the man who is telling someone that eating stake and eggs, that the burnt toast he is eating is better. Believers have the best there is in the entire universe in the person of Jesus Christ what more can they be offered that they haven’t got. You can always say along with good old Frank, I Did IT My Way. Mary is definitely blessed but I don’t see her name in the following verses. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. |
