Faith Christian Assembly

Last month, Faith Chrisitan Assembly celebrated when Jesus bore the world’s sins upon the cross. He agonized to a level none will never know, but even though he was in excruciating pain, he demonstrated an undying care over his mother, Mary.

“Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, behold your son.’ Then he said to the disciple, ‘Behold, your mother!’ And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home” John 19:25-27, NKJV.

As short as the sentences Jesus uttered appear to be, they reveal genuine love and concern for Mary. He was leaving the care of Mary to his disciple, John. History says that Mary continued to live with him until the time of her death. Jesus, in his dying moments, filled with tender regard for his mother, secured for her an adopted son, obtained a place for her to live, and consoled her grief by the most beloved of all the apostles.
