Ang Papel ni Maria sa Plano ng Kaligtasan Ang pagkilala kay Maria bilang Reyna ay hindi nagsisimula sa kanya, kundi sa kanyang Anak na si Hesus. Si Hesus ay Hari, hindi lamang dahil Siya’y Diyos, kundi dahil Siya’y mula sa lahi ni David, isang hari na pinangakuan ng Diyos na ang kanyang kaharian ay magpapatuloy magpakailanman (2 Samuel 7:16). Sa sinaunang Israel, ang ina ng hari—ang “Gebirah” o Reyna Ina—ay may natatanging k
