Even those who physically came before Him are saved by Him and through Him. Certainly. And the vessel of Jesus' birth has nothing to do with Abraham's salvation, your salvation or my salvation.
Christ alone died on the cross at Calvary. Men demean His one-time perfect sacrifice by giving to others the praise that is due Christ alone.

Certainly. And the vessel of Jesus' birth has nothing to do with Abraham's salvation, your salvation or my salvation. One of the things that bothers me the most about this remark is that it reduces the blessed (according to scripture) mother of my Savior, Christ Jesus, to nothing more than a walking womb. A "vessel" could be a mechanical uterus. What about the scriptural statement, "All generations shall call me blessed"? Did that just not happen? What about her statement, "Be it done unto me according to Thy Will"? Was that not said in the Bible?
