Jesus spoke seven words on the cross. Let us learn from his third word today, on Mother's Day.
Firstly, the Lord comforted his mother Mary and took action. How much hard it would have been for the mother Mary to see Jesus crucified. He comforted Mary, anticipated what would be happened on her after that, and left her to the disciple.
Secondly, the Lord advanced the relationship with his mother Mary. He didn't call her as his mother but said to her, "Dear woman." The reason why was Jesus was the Savior for Mary.
Thirdly, the Lord cared about the weak in mind. Here, we take it widely and can say that He bore burdens of the weak in mind. We can say that if He did so even on the cross, how much more, does He care about us now!
On Mother's Day, let us thank and comfort our mother, and at the same time, walk our steps while making our relationships with the Lord much more firmly!
