Aug 24, 2023 · At first mistaking Jesus to be the gardener, she recognizes Jesus once he calls her by name. Her first impulse is to reach out a “cling” to Jesus. But Jesus says, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father” (John 20:17). The verb “cling to” is literally “touch.”. Apparently, Jesus cannot be touched until he ...

Dec 7, 2022 · The miracle was to introduce the disciples to His ability, not to show off or to go public with His power (see John 2:11). So, Jesus isn’t being rude or dismissive in John 2:4. He’s politely pointing out that He follows God’s timing, not Mary’s; and that this is not His moment to be publicly revealed. Some of the respectful tone is lost ...
What is important about Mary is that she is the new Eve; she is the one who says yes to God, whereas the first Eve said no. The first Eve was called “woman” (Gen. 2:22) as is Mary, both at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry (John 2:4) and at the end (John 19:26). The title is both respectful and theologically important in revealing Mary’s ...

Mary’s hometown of Nazareth was remarkably unremarkable. It was much like any number of other villages on the Galilean plain. Plain?That was actually a pretty good word for the town. No one particularly boasted of being a Nazarene. Fewer than two thousand citizens called it home. The Romans kept a regional garrison there, meaning the place was cons...
These are good guesses, but we can be sure of one subject that held a grip on her imagination. What young girl, from any time or place, wouldn’t be preoccupied with her own approaching wedding? Yes, any girl’s most cherished hope was about to be fulfilled in Mary’s life. She would be thinking about her young carpenter. She and Joseph may have playe...
And then, in the midst of routine and readiness, a single supernatural moment shattered the normality of her life. An angel stood before her, as the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel recounts. When did it happen? Perhaps Mary was kneeling beside her bed, attending to prayers, beginning or finishing a day. How frightening the sudden arrival of a heaven...
Like all Jewish women, Mary surely knew the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14. Why do you think she was still so surprised when Gabriel came to her?When you read the Bible, are you quick to believe and accept its message, like Mary, or do you question and disregard it? Why?Matt 15:28 - Jesus addressing a Canaanite woman; Luke 13:12 - Jesus addressing a bleeding woman; Luke 22:57 - Peter addressing a woman in the courtyard; John 2:4 - Jesus speaking to his mother, Mary; John 4:21 - Jesus addressing the woman at the well; John 8:10 - Jesus speaking to the woman caught in adultery; John 19:26 - Jesus speaking to his ...

Nov 6, 2019 · Jesus is the head of the new humanity, just as Adam was the head of the old, sinful humanity (Romans 5:12-19; 1 Corinthians 15:22, 45), and just as Eve played a key role in our Fall by eating the forbidden fruit and then giving it to Adam, so too did Mary play a key role in our redemption by giving birth to our savior and by prompting him to perform his first miracle and thus begin his public ...
