Take Ten with John - Day 34!    

Today we're on the first of three words of Jesus from the cross, from John 19, where Jesus says, "Son, behold your mother - mother, behold your son."   It's a word of love and care from Jesus, creating a new family system from the cross.  In his pain, he cares for his mother, who is now only a widow, but now does not have a son to care for her.  Jesus creates a new spiritual family, thicker than genetic blood, in a Christian family at the foot of the cross.  It is one of the most tender portions of the Bible!

Here's the video:

And here's a wonderful song by Lauren Daigle entitled, Love Like This.  Enjoy!
