'Be it known unto you all,
.. and to all the people of Israel,
.... that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
...... whom ye crucified,
........ whom God raised from the dead,
.......... even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole.
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
.. which is become the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven
given among men,
whereby we must be saved.'
(Act 4:10-12)
Hello @theefaith,
I don't think we have had occasion to communicate with one another before, have we? :)
Mary was indeed highly favoured by God, when chosen to give birth to His only Begotten Son: but we too, who have placed our trust in the efficacy of His atoning blood, are equally 'highly favoured' in being 'accepted in the Beloved'; in Mary's son in the flesh, now risen and glorified, and seated at God's right Hand; but Mary, as all others who have died 'in Christ', is now 'asleep in Christ' in the sight of God, awaiting the resurrection of the dead.
Thank you
In Christ Jesus
