I do not know of anyone who believes in the messages from the Bible, who does not hold Mary, the Mother of Y'shua (Jesus), in very high esteem. She was indeed a very special and fortunate young woman. And truly, her name will be blessed throughout eternity.

Unfortunately, though, too many elevate her to near deity, when that just is not the way it is. Understand, Mary was not the "Mother of God," but the Mother of the Christ Child. He was in existence long before she came onto the scene.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-4, 14)

Mary was a common Hebrew girl who had been raised right, and whose faith in God, and submission to Him was pure. I have no doubt that she was also taught to have a living hope for the advent of Messiach. She was not immaculately conceived, as her son was. She was not deity. She was totally taken by surprise and puzzled by the Angel's greeting.

After the Christ Child was born, Mary was, without question, a submissive and faithful wife to her husband, Joseph. "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" (Mark 6:3) She is not the perpetual Virgin.

After Y'shua reached adulthood, and at age thirty eligible to be called Rabbi, Mary did not tell Y'shua what to do . . . she no longer exercised any control over Him. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, "They have no wine." And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come." (John 2:3-4) He was not being disrespectful; He still loved his mother with His heart. But, He was telling her what she already knew, that not even a mother has the right to tell a grown man what to do.

At this point, we see that she proceeded to exercise the only authority she had in the situation . . . she commanded the servants. His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it." (John 2:5)

So, people; if you truly love and respect Mary the Mother of the Christ Child, you must also love and respect her only recorded Commandment.

“WHATEVER JESUS SAYS TO YOU, DO IT!!”

One last point of information for you to take to heart: from the Revelation of the Apocolypse, given to the Apostle John, Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he [the Angel] said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Rev 19:10)

We are not to worship Angels, I do not have a doubt in my mind that Mary would say the same thing to those of you who worship her . . . "Do not do that!"
