OUR SAVIOUR'S MOTHER

"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."

Luke 2:7
King James Version

Today is Mother's Day and we will be giving our mother's gifts, taking them out to eat and spending the day with them.

My Mother went home to be with Jesus several years ago and I still miss her but one day I will see her in Heaven when God calls me home to be with Him for all eternity.

How the heart of our Saviour's mother was broken when there was no room for them when Jesus was born and as His mother saw Him hanging on the cross her heart must have been broken as tears ran down her face to see her Son being tortured, abused and nailed to the cross for something He had not done.

Ray Overholt wrote a hymn about how much our Saviour loves His mother, "Ten Thousand Angle". Jesus made sure His mother was taken care of even while He was hanging on the cross.

"When they nailed Him to the cross His mother stood near by He said "Woman, behold thy son" He cried, "I thirst for water" But they gave Him none to drink Then the sinful work of man was done."

Thank God that He loves us so much He gave us mothers to love and take care of us. Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I love You so much.
