02 – “Mary” (Seeing Jesus)
As Jesus’s mother, Mary had a unique perspective. She saw him as few others did and helps us view the Son in all of his fullness. She is a major figure in Luke’s narrative. Mary’s responses to the revelation of Jesus — as her soon-to-be-born baby and as her crucified-but-soon-to-be resurrected Lord — bookend his Gospel. In this message, Pastor Alex helps us understand the significance of Mary’s journey between those two points.
The Scriptures are clear that Mary was chosen to bear Messiah because of her character, and has much to teach us by her example.
