>>Jesus said...NO ONE can come to the Father but by Him.....all would do well to obey HIS warning....which by the way wasn’t giving us options.<<

And no one comes to Jesus but that the Father draws them. Interesting how Mary is not included in what God says. Of course Mary was evidently treated as inconsequential after Pentecost as no one even cared to keep track of her last days.

....”And no one comes to Jesus but that the Father draws them. Interesting how Mary is not included in what God says. Of course Mary was evidently treated as inconsequential after Pentecost as no one even cared to keep track of her last days”.....

As humble before God as Mary was I tend to think she didn't desire any fanfare nor would it come to mind, she had her moments prior and on stage at his birth...and nothing could top that ever!.... and Jesus had certainly put her in her place when she even tried even to draw attention to him prematurely...her work was done. ..she could not interfere in His path. Now it was all about Him and mankind and those who would be His disciples.

I find it amazing that just in three years time all that was accomplished by Jesus and this under one dilemma after another. Yet amid it all people were saved and believed, there was Joy there was sorrow...there were amazing moments of tenderness and confrontations with the religious leaders....and on and on. Just an amazing remarkable life! ...Truly I can scarcely take it in!...One that never becomes old!
