Happy Mother’s Day

When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.—John 19:26–27 (NIV)

It is impossible to imagine the excruciating sorrow Jesus’ mother felt watching her son perish on the cross. Among His final words, He instructed John to, “Take care of her.” Today, on Mother’s Day, may God bless and take care of mothers everywhere.
