"Love: A Personal Concern" - John 19:25-27. John's gospel record of the crucifixion of Christ immediately ushers his readers from the Lord's foes to His friends! He is the only one of the four gospel authors to record Christ's third (of seven) saying from the cross, which was about His mother's care. To the end, the Lord Jesus obeyed the Law, for He honored His widowed mother by providing (as her eldest Son) for her future care. He not only obeyed the letter of the Law, He displayed the spirit of the Law, for He exhibited genuine love toward the woman who gave Him physical birth and an eternal home in her heart.
Ivor Powell (great Bible commentator) said if he were a woman, one of his favorite passages of Scripture would be John 19:25, 26. Why? Because, at the most critical time in Christ's life (as He hung on the cross to pay for the sins of the world), all but one Apostle had forsaken Him. Only young John was present at the cross However, there were four faithful women who had both the courage and love to stand with Jesus in the midst of widespread, open hostility and mockery. Find out who they were, as well as interesting information about each of them.
Was Mary, the mother of Jesus, still at the cross when He died? A lot of religious paintings would lead us to think so! Listen and hear what the Bible actually tells us!
