Working through John 2:1-5, this message examines why the Lord Jesus addressed His mother as "woman" and what precedent that sets for how believers are to regard her. The preacher shows from Scripture that Christ came to do the will of His Father, that Mary held no spiritual authority over the Son of God, and that every person will give an account to the Lord and to no one else. The message answers the Roman Catholic claims that Mary is mediatrix, mother of God, immaculately conceived, a perpetual virgin, assumed into heaven, and queen of heaven, testing each against Luke 1, Luke 8, Jeremiah 7 and Jeremiah 44. Mary is then presented from the Bible as a highly favored and obedient woman of God whose last recorded words point away from herself: whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. It closes with 1 Corinthians 3 and Colossians 1, warning against putting any person on a pedestal and reminding hearers that covetousness is idolatry as surely as bowing before an image.
