As He hung on the cross, bearing the sins of the world. He still used the same
term - woman.
ìWhen Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing
by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold
thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And
from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.î
John 19:26-27
In the context of Jewish family life, calling your mother ìwomanî is a great insult.As Jesus was preaching to the crowds, a woman tried to invoke a blessing on
Mary simply because she was His mother. But the Lord showed her and all the
people that followed that they needed to place their emphasis on hearing and
keeping the Word of God, not lifting up a person because of how the LORD used
them.
ìAnd it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman
of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is
the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of
God, and keep it.î Luke 11:27-28 (emphasis mine)
Although Mary was the vessel that was chosen by God to bare the child Jesus,
like the rest of humanity she was only a created being. The divine Lord Jesus
Christ is the Eternal Son of God: ìwho is and who was and who is to come, the
Almighty.î (Revelation 1:8), and it was this same Jesus, the Second person in the
Trinity, that created all things.
ìAll things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made.î John 1:3
The fact is that God has no mother!ìAs His human nature had no father, so His divine nature
had no mother.î 35The Blessed Virgin Mary of the Roman Catholic Church IS NOT the Mary of the
Bible that gave birth to Jesus. She is a counterfeit, the perfect vessel to express
the hopes and desires of the principality of the Queen of heaven.
The Word of God states many things about the true Mary.
