Mary, Mother of God

The unerring word of God says as much.

When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among woman, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" (Luke 1:41-43)

Elizabeth acknowledges her cousin as "The mother of my Lord". And Elizabeth's Lord is our Lord... Jesus Christ... The second person of the Trinity... GOD.

There it is. So easy a plowboy could understand it.

"But wait a minute" you protest, "Elizabeth was speaking only about Jesus the man and not about Jesus the Christ, the Word of God incarnate, Emmanuel, the God who took on flesh and died for our sins!" You put forth this protest because you are fundamentally Protestant, and in your protest you deny one of the basic universal truths of all Christiantiy.

The Father and I are one. (John 10:30)

Elizabeth did not ask "And how is it that the mother of my second cousin should come to me?" Elizabeth did not ask "And how is it that the mother of Jesus should come to me?" No, Elizabeth did not understand how it was that the mother of her Lord should come to her but she she undersood this much; the mother of her Lord, the Ark of the New Covenant, had just come to her.

God himself was inside Mary's womb and the Mother of God had just walked through Elizabeth's front door.
