Mary The Mother of Jesus was at Risk Her Entire Life, she was Very Brave.
Mary being pregnant with Jesus, without being married, was in Danger of being put to Death. Stoning was the Penalty for Fornication. Mary and Joseph were in Great Danger from King Herod. They had to Flee from Herod.
Mary was an Active part of the Ministries of Jesus. She Risked Her Life Daily. Mary was Indeed Very Brave.
Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.
Mary was at the Foot of The Cross of Jesus, at his Feet. She Witnessed Jesus Suffering. Mary Watched in Agony, Jesus Dying for 3+ hours.
John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
Mary Never Left Jesus.
Judas Betrayed Jesus. Peter Denied Jesus 3 Times. 9 of the Disciples of Jesus Fled. They Ran Away and hid, after Jesus was Taken Away in Chains in The Garden of Gethsemane. Of the 12 Disciples of Jesus Only John Stayed with Jesus the Whole time. He was with Mary the mother of Jesus, and the 2 other Mary’s at The Cross of Jesus.
Mary was a young woman. Around 16 years old when she discovered:
Luke 1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
It is Impossible to comprehend being the mother of Jesus. Jesus was God in the flesh.
Mary became the mother of Jesus by the Holy Ghost. She carried him in her belly for 9 months or so. She Held Him in her arms.
She heard his first words. Watched his first steps…
She knew Jesus her Son was Born to Die for the Sins of the Whole World.
Mary was the only person with Jesus from His Birth to His Death, to his Burial and to his Resurrection.
Mary was Faithful to Jesus.
Being the mother of Jesus was Very Dangerous. Mary Risked being Stoned to Death by her own Family for being pregnant without being married.
King Herod Threaten her Life. Mary traveled far and wide with Jesus and Joseph under the Constant Danger of being found and Murdered.
Mary Suffered Greatly seeing Jesus’s Beaten Bloody Body. She Witnessed the Nails being Driven through the hands and feet of Jesus.
She Felt the Pain and Suffering of Jesus as the Nails were being Driven through his hands and feet.
Mary Suffered along with Jesus as he Hung Nailed on The Cross for 3 plus hours Dying…
Yes, Mary was Blessed by God. She was an Amazing woman the mother of Jesus.
Mary was not God though. She did not stay a virgin. She had Sons and Daughters with Joseph her husband.
Matthew 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Please do not pray to Mary. Do Not Bow Down to Statues, Idols of Mary. Do Not Worship Mary.
Salvation is through Jesus only. Jesus died for the Sins of the Whole World not Mary.
1st John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”
Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Mary is worthy of the greatest respect, Not Worship.
This song about Mary Always makes me cry:
“Mary, Did You Know?”
Lyrics Written by Mark Lowry in 1984
Music Written by Buddy Greene in 1991
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
Mary did you know. Ooo Ooo Ooo
The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you’re holding is the Great, I Am.
Finally, Mary the mother of Jesus was a Truly Great woman of God, but she was Only a flesh and blood woman.
Mary is Not: Queen Mother Mary of Heaven, The Virgin Mary, a Goddess. She had Sons and Daughters after Jesus was born. So, No it is a Lie that Mary remained a Virgin her whole Life.
It is Blasphemy to Pray to the “Virgin” Mary, to Bow down to Her Idols, to Worship her.
Salvation is Only Through Jesus:
Jesus died for all Sin. Salvation is a Free Gift offered to Everyone.
The Bible does not say to Repent of Sin. Jesus died for all Sin. No one goes to Hell for Sin. People go to Hell for one reason only for rejecting Jesus free gift of Salvation.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
2nd Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
1st Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1st John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1st John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1st Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1st John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
2nd Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Believe on Jesus Only to be Saved. If you have not Asked Jesus to Save You, Please Ask him Right Now to Save You. Trust in Jesus Only to Save you. Believe The Gospel to be Saved:
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
