Why do Catholics and other ancient Christians honor Mary above every other created person?
In this powerful biblical discussion, a Protestant woman examines Mary’s unique place in God’s kingdom. The evidence begins with Jesus’ teaching about different ranks in Heaven and continues through Mary’s divine motherhood, her place as Queen Mother, the Visitation, John the Baptist’s extraordinary reaction and her presence with the Church before Pentecost.
You will discover:
Why honoring Mary remains centered entirely upon Jesus
How the Queen Mother points to Mary’s position beside Christ the King
Why Spirit-filled Elizabeth called Mary “the mother of my Lord”
Why John the Baptist leaped upon hearing Mary’s greeting
How Luke 1:28 supports Mary being uniquely filled with grace
Why Mary’s sinlessness magnifies God’s saving power
Why the ancient Churches regarded Mary as the greatest of God’s creatures
Catholics do not worship Mary as God. We honor her because of who Jesus Christ is and because of the extraordinary work God accomplished in her.
Watch until the end and decide: If the Holy Spirit moved Elizabeth and John to honor Mary, why should Christians treat her as an afterthought?
