Jesus' Mother

Then saith he to the disciple, “Behold thy mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.  John 19:27

Jesus went to the cross carrying the weight of the world.  At that moment he took upon himself every sin of the human race.  Darkness fell upon the earth.  God turned away from his Son.  Jesus was dying.  Yet, in that moment of torment, Jesus looked at John and told him to take care of his mother.
 
Jesus honored his mother from the cross.  To honor someone is to recognize their value and to act accordingly.   Because His mother was precious to Him, Jesus made sure she was not forgotten but would be provided for.  I

If Jesus could honor His mother from the cross, let us honor our mother on her special day.

Happy Mother’s Day!
