Title: Hey John - Take Care of Mama
Scripture: John 19:25-27
Author: Dr. David Davis
John 19:27 - "Then said he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."
The king of Israel had just been anointed. His mother had a request to make of him, and so she came to see him.
The king rose to meet her and had another throne brought beside his. As the king sat on his throne, he asked his mother to sit at his right hand at the place of honor.
One of the most striking things about our Lord to me is what He said when He was on the cross. Our Lord was suffering all the horrors of hell, all the pains of the cross. Nobody ever suffered like our Lord suffered, and by the way, all the rivers of history poured into Calvary, and all the streams of prophecy originated at Calvary.
Calvary is the crossroads of everybody's life. The angels had known about it; God the Father had pointed to Calvary. Everything that Christ did was shadowed by a cross. Now Jesus is on the cross. What would He say?
Ah, it seems to me He'd maybe say something like, "This is the hour of hours for all the universe" or maybe He'd say something like this, "Now is the time. The lamb is slain."
But our Lord stops while He's on the cross and says the strangest, seemingly, the most insignificant thing, Jesus, God's Son, God's eternal Son, on the cross.
Do you know what He says? He says, "Hey, John, take care of Mama. John, take care of Mother." And, "Mother, John's going to take care of you from now on." Isn't that a strange thing?
Look at it!
John 19:25-27 - "Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. (26) When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! (27) Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."
