The Women: Mary
Mother of Jesus
Written
by, Janette McLaughlin
Read
Mary's story in the following sections of scripture:
Many of
us have some ideas about Mary the mother of Jesus. These familiar passages from the Bible have been read perennially throughout the
centuries. But as I spent some time getting to know Mary, some of my
preconceived ideas became like shattered stained glass images in my
mind about this timeless saint. Because while we are not to pray to
Mary, we are to praise God for her story and how she teaches us what
it means to be a servant of God.
Surprisingly,
what I learned from studying Mary is that God isn't looking for
perfect when he chooses a servant. He is not concerned with your list of accomplishments and he doesn't need your plans—he's got it all
covered. His plan for your life and for humanity is far greater than
we could ever imagine.
