John 19:26-27 NIV
"When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, "Woman, here is your son," and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home."
Jesus thought and cared for his family while on the cross. And John obeyed Jesus' direction. But why did Jesus choose John to care for his mother Mary? Jesus had several other brothers, one of which (James) became the leader of the early church, certainly they were trustworthy. And John had so much to do after Jesus was gone, being one of the twelve. John and Mary both followed Jesus' direction; John took Mary into his house and May left her house to live in John's house.
I too must care for my family and follow Jesus' lead. Help me Lord to care for my family, to make my time for them a priority, especially in one on one get togethers. To love and cherish them in good times and in bad times. To you Lord be the glory.
