The Second Word – When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciples standing by, whom He loved, He said unto His mother, “Woman, behold thy son! Then saith He to the disciples, Behold they mother! – John 19:26The scene reflects the tenderness of Jesus to His earthly mother which serves as an excellent example for us believers to renders our respective mother the best love and care that we could give them. It shows to us the natural movement of the undisturbed heart.
Friendship and fellowship are the fruits of the cultivated garden of Christian love, a distinct quality of man really depends on. For without the nourishment of Christian love is an artificial gathering of men for conflict and deceit. Man cannot live alone because he is created to express himself to others, to create thoughts and things with others and for others. His need for the companionship of others is in his nature. Sad to say, many have used to exploit others and for personal and vested interest only: not for lasting friendship.
For us, the question is…. Do we love our mother? Do you remember her birthday? If so, how many times did you send her a card? Do you give or send her financial support? How many times did you tell her that you love her very much? The bible says: “Respect your father and mother. Obey them. So that you will have long and prosperous life.”
Do not waith too long to tell her that you really love your mother. Remember that she carried you nine months and cared you a decade and more. The time is now for you to act and tell your mother, Ma, I love you very much! Noticed your mother’s eyes, tears slowly failing while you are embracing her. For once in her lifetime, make your mother feels she is a very important person in your life. She is only waiting you to say it! Do it now!
