This week's sermon message was part three in our series on Jesus' last words. Today, we looked at his words to Mary, "Woman, behold your son."
If you remember this passage, Jesus is hanging from the cross, sees His mother standing there with her closest friends, and one of His disciples, John, standing nearby. After this scene, John took Mary into his household, and cared for her the rest of her life. According to legend, she was even with him in his years of exile on the island of Patmos.
It amazes me as we study Jesus' last words, that the first three of these statements involve Jesus, brutally beaten and hung on a cross to die, speaks to people out of compassion and love for those he speaks to. If you haven't thought of this before, I encourage you to read the message in it entirety. There is even a link to listen to the message... To read or listen now, click here.
Thanks for reading!
