Mount Olive Baptist Church of Albuquerque

for Sunday, May 11th
“The Ministry of Motherhood”
Luke 1: 26 - 38
(KJV)

The common New Testament term for the ministry is diakoni a. Other related words include: ho diakono n he who ministers, and diakonei n to minister.
All these words have a very extensive application within the New Testament and are by no means restricted to denote service within the Christian church; even when so restricted the words are used in a great variety of meanings: e.g. (1) discipleship in general (John 12:26); (2) service rendered to the church because of the gifts bestowed (Romans 12:7; 1 Corinthians 12:5), and hence, all kinds of service (Acts 6:2; Matthew 20:26); (3) specifically the ministry of the Word (Ephesians 4:12), and most frequently the apostleship (Acts 1:17; 20:24; 21:19; Romans 11:13, etc.); (4) such services as feeding the poor (Acts 6:1; 11:29; 12:25), or organizing and providing the great collection for the poor saints at Jerusalem (Romans 15:25; 2 Corinthians 8:4, 19, etc.);
It is interesting and unfortunate that we rarely connect the word ministry or minister to the roles our mothers played in our lives, and yet in the most essential elements of a mother s relationship with her children this connection can quite easily be made. Some of this can be perhaps be attributed to the fact that we live in an age where motherhood to a large degree is not esteemed as highly as in previous generations, but more generally is to be attributed to the fact that we simply never gave adequate thought or emphasis to the critical roles that our mothers played in our life successes.
This Sunday we celebrate motherhood, and we take this opportunity to reflect on the magnificent benefit and blessing we have received by virtue of our mothers. It is in that light that in this week s lesson we will look at the ministry of motherhood as reflected in the actions of Mary the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. We will look at specific actions of Mary as revealed in various settings in her relationship with Jesus, but we can also infer certain things without doing damage to the various texts.
