Selfless Love

During this Passion Week we are looking at the seven last sayings of Christ as He was on the cross. Today, we will look at one that is very interesting.

Jesus’ mother, Mary, was there watching as Jesus was crucified. The Apostle John was also there. In John 19:26 it is recorded that Jesus said to Mary, “Woman, behold your son!” In verse 27 we’re told that Jesus said to John, “Behold, your mother!”

That is amazing. As He is enduring the pain of crucifixion, Jesus makes arrangements for the care of His mother. Apparently Joseph was dead by this time and Jesus’ brothers were not yet believers. Therefore, Jesus entrusted the care of His mother to the beloved apostle, John.
Scripture tells us that John took her into his home and history affirms that he cared for Mary until she died.

What amazing and selfless love was demonstrated by our Lord.
