“When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.”
John 19:26-27 KJV
When Jesus had left home and started preaching, teaching, healing and delivering, crowds followed Him. His mother and brothers came looking for Him and it was told Him. Jesus then said that His mother, brothers and sisters are those who do the will of God. Here amidst His suffering and accomplishing the will of God, Jesus deeply honoured His mother. Other disciples were not there at the foot of the Cross except John, the beloved disciple of Jesus. Love doesn’t run away when we suffer in any way. Jesus told John to love Mary as a mother and He told Mary to love John as her son. John took Mary to care for her till her earthly life was over from that moment on. Let’s honour our parents as Jesus showed us, for all will go well with us, Scripture promises. Thank You Father for helping us honour our parents. Amen!
