Thursday, March 12

[Jesus] said to his mother: “Woman, see! Your son!”—John 19:26.

 

John was a beloved apostle of Jesus Christ. (Matt. 10:2) John accompanied Jesus throughout his ministry, witnessed his miracles, and stuck with him during difficult times. He watched as Jesus was executed and saw him after he was resurrected. He also witnessed the spread of Christianity in the first century from a small group of faithful ones until the good news had been “preached in all creation under heaven.” (Col. 1:23) Near the end of his long life, John was privileged to contribute to God’s inspired Word. He recorded the awe-inspiring “revelation by Jesus Christ.” (Rev. 1:1) John wrote the Gospel bearing his name. He also wrote three inspired letters. He addressed his third letter to a faithful Christian named Gaius, whom John viewed as a beloved spiritual child. (3 John 1) What this faithful older man wrote has encouraged all of Jesus’ followers down to our day. w24.11 12 ¶15-16

Ok, different Scriptures came to mind as I read this Text. It made me think of how his brothers didn't believe on him while he was alive.
There are a few Scriptures that show this to be true but I thought of John 7:4, 5


John 7:4, 5
For no one does anything in secret when he seeks to be known publicly.
If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."
His brothers were, in fact, not exercising faith in him.

 

Those Scriptures make it make perfect sense to me why Jesus said to John that Mary was now his mother even though she had other sons.
It kind of makes you think of the Scripture when they told Jesus that his mother and brothers and sisters were there to see him....?

Matthew 12:46-50
While he was yet standing with the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to him.
So someone said to him: "Look! Your mother and brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to you." In reply he said to the one who spoke to him:
"Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" And extending his hand toward his disciples, he said: "Look! My mother and my brothers!
For whoever does the will of my Father  who is in heaven, that one is my brother and sister and mother."

 

It makes me think of the Scripture where Jesus talks about the true identifying mark of one of his disciples:

John 13:35
By this all will know that you are my disciples-if you have love among yourselves."

So those are all the Scriptures I can think to share at the moment and the overall moral for me is the love we have to cultivate for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
How when you get baptized you become a part of Jehovah's family and a worldwide association.
