MARY
A SINNER
MARY THE
MOTHER OF JESUS WAS A SINNER!
The scriptures say,
"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans
3:23). Jesus, God Himself clothed in flesh, is the only exception. Mary
needed a saviour and she called Jesus such, saying, "And my spirit hath
rejoiced in God MY Savior" (Luke 1:47).
MARY WASN'T
EXALTED BECAUSE SHE WAS JESUS' MOTHER!
The scriptures tell
of a woman who said to Jesus, "Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and
the paps which thou hast sucked"; but Jesus said to her, "Yea,
rather blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it" (Luke
11:27-28). Hearing and keeping the word of God is what brings the blessing.
Again, Jesus' mother and brethren stood outside desiring to speak to Him but
when He was told of it He said, "Who is my mother? And who are my brethren?"
And He stretched forth His hand toward His disciples and said, "Behold
my mother and my brethren: for whosoever shall do the will of my Father which
is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother" (Matthew
12:46-50).
MARY DID NOT
REMAIN A VIRGIN THROUGHOUT HER LIFE!
The virgin birth of
Jesus is Bible, but after Jesus was born Mary gave birth to other children
naturally. Scriptures say Jesus was her FIRSTBORN son (Matthew 1:25) not her
only son. Saying firstborn infers secondborn. The scriptures also teach that
Mary had sons and daughters called brothers and sisters of Jesus (Matthew
MARY CANNOT
