The point is, this exaltation of Mary in her particular service she was chosen to serve God in is unnecessary and meaningless. We could just as easily exalt and praise other godly people who were chosen by God to perform special and privileged tasks for God. We thank God for them...then we move on, keeping our attention focused on the Father and the Son, as it should be with no distractions. Mary plays ZERO role in my day to day relationship with God. Jesus is the one and only advocate appointed by God that we need to relate to God through. He is enough. He doesn't need any help from Mary or any other great believer in history. They steal from God's glory and power when mere mortals are inserted in between God and man.
Lk 1:48 …for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed!
Why is Mary blessed?
cos she brought forth our
savior? Matt 1:21
cos she consented to our salvation? Lk 1:38
Cos she believed? Lk 1:45
cos God created Her soul immaculate? Gen 3:15 Lk 1:28 Lk 1:49 rev 12:1
all the above?
