A Mother To Die For
Luke 1:26-38, Matthew 2:1-23, John 2:1-11
Mary undoubtedly played a key role in preparing Jesus for his ministry.
1. A Mother of Devotion
She did not bat an eye, she did not balk, and she did not shirk from the huge task God placed before her.
2. A Mother of Strength
Imagine the emotional strength required to bear up under the knowledge that someone wants to kill your baby.
There’s also great emotional strength involved when a mother lets her child make a mistake so he can learn from it.
3. A Mother of Guidance
It appears through the few glimpses we get into Jesus’ early life that God slowly revealed the plan of Jesus’ life. And certainly God used Mary to guide and instruct Jesus to that end.
You mothers have the unique gift of coaching and listening until your child figures out what purpose God might have for him/her.
4. A Mother of Patience
Mary’s devotion, and strength, and guidance had led them both to this moment of great patience—the patience involved in seeing the work of Christ finished on the cross.
God can work their suffering and mistakes for good. Pray, and trust that God will work everything out. God can take all of their mistakes and fulfill a great purpose in their life.
The mother whose devotion, and strength, and guidance gave us all a Savior.
The mother who was patient enough to watch as God finished His work on the cross.
A Mother to Die For.
