“From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name.” Luke 1:49

First, let's get the passage correct. It will put the proper emphasis on where it's supposed to be...and it's not Mary.

Luke 1:48-49 (NASB)

48 “For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.

49“For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.

The Greek reads as "will count be blessed." It's a verb in the Future tense.

It's not a title.

“It’s a verb in the Future tense.”

Yes, now she is called “blessed”. That came true

Yes the emphasis here is that the Lord would stoop to her humble state and bless her with the privilege of being the earthly mother of God’s Son.

It’s “Look what God did.”

Obviously not every Christian gets that privilege. Only that one out of billions has received it. But it yet stands as an example of how God can bless.

So what should we call the Mother of God.Or are you saying She is not the Mother of God?
