HIS FIRST DISCIPLE

HIS FIRST DISCIPLE


Today I want to
HONOR Mary=Jesus' first DISCIPLE


“........Blessed are those
Who HEAR the WORD of God
And observe it” Luke 11:28


Mary was as SCRIPTURE says
The womb that CARRIED Jesus=
No other human being
Can claim that


But we can IMITATE=
The STRENGTH and HUMILITY
Of Mary=
Jesus' first disciple


“For the foolishness
Of God
Is wiser


Than human wisdom
And the weakness of God
Is STRONGER
Than human STRENGTH” 1 Corinthians 1:25


“I can do all things
Through him
Who gives me STRENGTH” Philippians 4:13


Mary=Jesus' mother
LISTENED to the will
Of God=and FOLLOWED it


She HEARD the WORD of God=
And followed it=
We would be WISE to do that too


She heard the WORD of God
And followed=this makes Mary
JESUS' FIRST DISCIPLE


The FIRST DISCIPLE of Christ


FOLLOW the Lord
Just like Mary did
Follow him in ALL HUMILITY


“In your majesty
Ride forth victoriously
In the cause of truth


HUMILITY=and justice
Let your right hand
Achieve awesome deeds” Psalm 45:4


“Wisdom's instruction
Is to fear the Lord


And HUMILITY comes
Before honor” Proverbs 15:33


“Who is wise and understanding
Among you?


Let them show it
By their good life=
By deeds
Done in the HUMILITY
That comes from wisdom” James 3:13


And Mary certainly
DID all of that


Mary=among all people
Was definitely=among the first
To LOVE AND SERVE the Lord


We should strive
To do the same


WHEN we follow Jesus=let us
Always remember=we are
FOLLOWING his MOTHER Mary too


Mary=you are BLESSED among
All people=pray for us=that
We may be WORTHY to HONOR
And follow your SON too


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of Mary-the MOTHER OF GOD
