John 2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:<\/p>\n
A few days back (7th June), I wrote about how the event concerning the wedding at Canna was to do with Mary\u2019s daughter, and the first pointer towards this was today\u2019s message about Mary who I considered timid by theologians is seen in another character only at the wedding and after the burial of Jesus when she with other 3 women (3 Marys\u2019) went to do pagan rituals (since Mary was of Galilee) on the body of Jesus and could not find it (the similar ritual was performed on Lazarus\u2019 body by his sisters, and the reason why Jesus cried seeing it). They were questioning an Angel for the body, ignoring that they were speaking to an Angel!<\/p>\n
Catholics took my previous message as an offence, even though I wrote nothing much about her. They just cannot accept the truth about Mary, since they are emotionally attached to her. Mary was indeed blessed to be chosen as a vessel, to be a surrogate mother of the Saviour (Jesus was not her biological son; the Holy Spirit did not impregnate her\/fertilize her egg). Leaving that one fact, there is nothing about her that lifts her in the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n
Her faith, which is so much spoken of, is overstated. Unlike Elizabeth, her cousin, who immediately accepted, Mary had to be encouraged by her cousin’s testimony to say \u2018yes\u2019.<\/p>\n
Mary was not strong in faith, for once she believed people that Jesus was possessed with an evil spirit, came running with one of her sons to check on Him, and she obtained another rebuke from Jesus (a disownment like at the wedding), for He asked those who were with Him in the house, \u2018Who is my mother? Who are my brethren?<\/p>\n
What people do not realize even as the mother of the Lord Jesus, she truly did not know who He was. She was a Jew who assumed Him as the Messiah promised, the king who is greater than David. Later, after seeing the miracles, she thought He was the promised Prophet greater than Moses, but she never knew Him as Lord, God the Son. It was Thomas who first recognised Him as the Lord.<\/p>\n
She was part of the ministry of Jesus like the other women, but her purpose was only to see after the welfare of he son. She was not part of doing the Kingdom\u2019s work. Simone, the Prophet warned her of her name being used to expose the hearts of people who follow the truth or follow emotions.<\/p>\n
She is respected for being chosen to be His natural mother, but that does not put her in any place greater than any Men of God or Prophets mentioned in the Bible.<\/p>\n
[Prayer Starter]
\nLord, You are Almighty God. You, Lord, are Truth and Light. We are called to be the light that shines Your Light and glorifies You. Lord. We pray we are not saved just because we are part of a Christian family, but we, each one of us, need to be Christian to be saved. We pray we are driven by emotions but only driven by truth…<\/p>\n
This prayer we make in Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen.<\/p>\n
[Reference Scriptures]
\nLuke 1:34-38
\n34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
\n35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
\n36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
\n37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
\n38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.<\/p>\n
Luke 2:34-35
\n34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
\n35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.<\/p>\n
Mark 3:30-35
\n30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
\n31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
\n32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
\n33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
\n34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
\n35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.<\/p>\n
Matthew 28:3-8
\n3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
\n4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead [men].
\n5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
\n6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
\n7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
\n8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.<\/p>\n
