Thanks.

The very thing that makes Jesus Christ lawfully able to save us hinges on this very issue: his humanity, plain humanity, which is

EXACTLY the same

as yours,

as mine,

as all of ours.

That’s WHY He could save us. Because He did it right. The One Who was God and yet was wholly man.

And He paid the ultimate penalty on our behalf, the One who took on the form of a human being.

It’s not a minor detail. It’s the crux of the matter, no pun intended. Not to be tampered with.

Mary, a young girl, a regular human being, same as the rest of us, had a pure heart, God chose her to bear the Lord Jesus: God chose a regular human being to do this, one who was EXACTLY the same as everyone else. Yes, she had a pure heart, praise God, she was a sweet young girl whose heart was pure. That does not make her anything else, she was simply a normal human being with a pure heart. That’s how Jesus was able to be wholly human. Because His mom was wholly human.
