All the years progressed she was troubled in her spirit.- A sword pierced Mary’s heart also.- She was standing at the foot of the cross. She was confused. She was not weak,- She thought her son would be something more than a criminal.- Women are tough. They can multitask. They know when something is wrong even before it happens. Women endure pain. A mother can still make a family.- She followed her son around. Jesus looks down at her, and He says (this is God talking to a woman, not a son to His mother) woman, behold your son, hanging on a cross. The greatest act in the history, in the world is taking place. The son of man is dying.- He still cares about his mother.- Heavenly work never takes the place of earthly duty and human relationships.- Hanging on the cross he fortifies the commandment to honor His father and mother.- This time of year is when family gets together but it should be every day.- Jesus condemns the neglect of ones parents for the sake of God, church, ministries of missions.- We are told without any questions, take Care of your family- We are regularly breaking God’s commandments. Most Christians hate sinners.- Christians neglect their families for ministry. It is not God’s will, it is not scriptural.- Take care of your family. How can you love God you have not seen and you can’t get alone with your family and neighbors.|- How can you not love you brother you have seen.
