Boy Country Jesus
The few short scripture verses in John 19:25-27 that tell of Jesus' making arrangements from the cross for the care of his widowed mother, Mary, are a lesson in family love to Christians everywhere.
Even at the height of the physical agony of being nailed to a wooden cross, Jesus demonstrated his love for his mother. His concern for her future well-being is remarkable in the depth of its compassion, and in the simplicity of the arrangements. The following three principles of love stand the test of time for all those who want to show a deep, abiding love to their family members.
Recognize Family Members as Individuals
Jesus recognized his mother as an important person. He paid attention to her presence at the foot of the cross. Jesus took the time to acknowledge his mother as ‘dear woman’. This was the woman who had birthed him, raised him, and had even fled to another country for a while to protect him.
