2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Slowly Dean - who was the women referred to in the above passage from Luke? Mary. Who was the "son"? Our Lord Jesus Christ. His Title? King of Kings. Hers? The Mother of the King of Kings. Unless you deny the Trinity that is?

The words “Trinity” and “Incarnation” are also nowhere to be found in Scripture, but does that make them any less true?
"Mother of God” is a truth that flows naturally and logically from an understanding of Who Jesus is. When we apply the term to Mary, it's actually all about Christ. It points us unmistakably towards His Divinity, and slams the door shut on the several heresies about Him that were raging at the time.
Read up on the Council of Ephesus and “Theotokos” to get a beautiful explanation of these holy truths about the Lord Jesus.
