So many people think Mary's body is so blessed that it gives her some special honor and relationship to God. So how blessed is her body due to the simple fact that God used it as a doorway to enter this world?
Christ actually replies to a woman who comes up to Him speaking about how blessed Mary's body is for bearing Him: QUOTE Luke 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. However, as you can see, while He DOES agree that it is blessed, He says that RATHER are those blessed that hear the word of God and keep it. So yes, Mary's body is blessed, but not as blessed as any Christian can be that should "hear the word of God and keep it." |
