Mother's Day!!!
John 19:26-27 "26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."
In the waining hours at the cross, Jesus remained faithful to his calling. But, he never relieved himself of his Human responsibilities. He stayed true to his heritage, by appointing the disciple whom he loved (John) as executor of his will. His will was to have the Mother who took care of him, to be taken care of in his absence. He also made it clear to her that she should make her place under the watchful eye of this disciple. He not only fulfilled Jewish law and custom, but in every area completed it down to signing every "I" and crossing every "T". His human heart cared very dearly about Mary his mother and up to his last breath he provided for her.
So, remember this when you think of your own mother today on Mother's Day!!!
