The third saying on the Cross

                                                     Third saying on the cross

John19 : 26, 27 - When Jesus saw His mother there , and the desciple whom he loved standing near by, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son" and to the disciple , "Here is your mother."

    Jesus is all about Love . Everything he said and did in his life was purely out of love and for love.Because , 'God is Love' says the Bible.Even when in excruciating pain , Jesus wanted to make sure his mother was taken care of , in his physical absence. 


    This tells us , that because he was the son of man, he understood a human heart. He understood a mother's heart and her needs and he did not want her to be alone. He perfectly understood that after he'd be gone , she would need someone there.  Jesus was the son of God and he could maybe send angels from heaven to take care of his mother on earth , but he chose to fulfill her need this way . What does this tell us ? I think it means that God perfectly knows and understands how we feel. He knows what we need when we're here on this earth. And He does not just expect us to live a solitary life , without people we love , and without family. He knows it's not good for us to be alone , and hence , He has provided us with beautiful families, friends and church fellowship.


    It's really painful to hear when people blame Him for so many orphans and widows. It's not His wish for people to suffer and live in pain. The Bible says, He will provide if we ask. And it will be given if we believe, by the measure of our faith. Let us then have faith , even as little as a mustard seed , and see what miracles happen. When in need , let us ask of Him , who will surely provide more than we deserve.
