Summary
And when you consider that against the backdrop of women that couldn't testify in a court because they were considered liars and yet Jesus chooses a woman to be the bear of the resurrection were radically different treatment, radically different treatment. And Jesus turns and says to Mary, woman, but to our ears and our assumptions with regard to how that sounds to us today, in actuality here the term that he is using, addressing his mother, woman, it was it was actually a term of respect. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, woman, here is your son, from the cross, he turns to his mother and he says it again. Because on the cross the Lord Jesus Christ was redeeming the world, redeeming the world because of its sin. And on the cross Jesus was redeeming the world which included the sin of his mother, winning for us and for his mother, forgiveness and from the cross Jesus turned to his mother and said, what? So that the name of Jesus, every knee should bend in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God, the Father, and our knees bent and we address him as same fear, son of God, Lord, our knees bent and we address him as same fear.
