Simple Outside Gems Inside

In one of the Global School of Ministry classes, I mentioned that many popular teachings on those that preceded our Lord Jesus Christ do not bring out the whole story as written in the Scriptures. A good example is who Mary was, which she told herself. An Elderly Pastor in the class said, “ I am keen to hear what this new teaching you have because all I know about Mary is about the nativity story. He was not alone. Many in the class were in the same boat as him. Out of curiosity, I asked the class if anyone shared the same opinion as him. Some could say some points on Elizabeth and Zachariah, two lines on Joseph and John the Baptist. Everyone had the same view of Mary.
