"to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ," Ephesians 4:12-13
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. How did Jesus treat His mother Mary, with honor and respect. What about the body of Christ, have all of us been brought to this understanding or do some want to dismiss the mother of God? God wants us to have unity of faith and to mature in our understanding. Asking questions of one another is a good way to learn why the Church(we are the church) believes what it does. I learned something this week from a friend who wanted to understand. Mary was the perfect choice to be Mother of Christ, she wasn't like any of the other characters that God chose that had imperfections. Whether it was stuttering with Moses, David's prideful ways or Peters denial, Mary was perfectly chosen from her birth, I can't think of any imperfections she had. As a believer, Mary points us to her Son Jesus. Happy Mother's Day Mom, I love you!
Dear Lord God, I know You love mothers, for from them, they fulfill Your plan of salvation, to bring new life into the world. Bless all the mothers today Lord with love and kindness, may their children recognize the sacrifices a mother makes each and everyday. Prayers for mothers who have lost a child, may they find comfort and healing in knowing Your mother experienced the same loss. Bless this day Lord and thank You for giving me the perfect mother. Amen
Mary, Mother of All, pray for us.
