The Birthplace of Mary

The Birthplace of Mary - The Perfect Woman

                                         i.    Wouldn’t it be a shame if we were able to know what a perfect man was like, but we never had the chance to see a perfect woman, if God had been able to design a flawless example of male humanity, but not of female humanity?

                                       ii.    Of course, that’s the position – the imbalance -- of just about every other Christian denomination: they present us with a perfect man, but not a perfect woman

b.  But we know that’s actually not the case – that there is one instance of both a perfect masculinity and a perfect femininity.

                                         i.    We know that when God’s perfect love for us took human form, it took the form of a man – Jesus Christ

                                       ii.    But we also know that when our perfect response of love for God took human form, it took the form of a woman.

1.  And it took form in this house, where Mary was born.
