In Mary’s great Hymn of Praise, Luke 1:46-56, this young Jewish virgin actually called God her “Saviour!” Here are the words as recorded in the King James Version of the Bible: “And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God MY SAVIOUR.” Luke 1:46-47

Some today say Mary was sinless. But that is not what the Bible says. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

Some say that Mary is a co-saviour with Jesus, having persuasive powers with Him! I mean even now, in Heaven! But Mary nowhere in the Word of God claims such a thing. She does however unashamedly claim her need for a “Saviour!”

Later in her Psalm, often called the “Magnificat,” Mary says God has done to her “great things!” She’s speaking of Jesus, within her womb! Luke 1:49

Yes, Mary knew!

The angel had already told her that the Child’s Name was to be “Jesus.” Which means “deliverer,” or “one who saves.”

If Jesus was Mary’s Saviour, surely He should be ours as well.

If fact, a group of new Believers once called (rightly so) our Lord, “the Saviour of the world.” John 4:42

Mary would agree!

Jesus Himself speaks of such Salvation in this way: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24
