A Word of Care

W hen my dad passed away soon after my parents fortieth anniversary, my mother grieved deeply, but she also worried. Who would pay the bills? Would she have enough money? What if the house needed repairs? She soon learned that her worry was unneeded. My dad had painstakingly arranged, years ago, for her every financial need after his death. My sister and I committed to helping our mom with any other needs.

Caring for family like this takes on a special significance in some of Jesus' final words. Despite hanging from the cross, Jesus looked upon His mother, Mary, and beloved disciple, John. Then He spoke these moving words: "Dear woman, here is your son," and to John, "Here is your mother" (JOHN 19:26-27).

Those are remarkable words of love shared at a gripping moment of grief. In Jewish culture, a dying son would commit his mother's care to a male sibling, such as, in Jesus' case, His brothers (SEE MATTHEW 13:55), because Mary's husband, Joseph, had probably already died. But Jesus' brothers hadn't yet accepted Him as the Christ-that is, the Messiah.

Focused on Mary's well-being, Jesus appointed His disciple John as her caretaker. "From then on this disciple took her into his home" (JOHN 19:27). What Christ did reflects the fact that all believers are members of a new family in God, establishing our caring bond at the foot of the cross.( Patricia Raybon)

How do you care for others? What does it mean for you to view believers as family?

Make me willing and ready, dear Jesus, to help fellow believers. Amen 🙏

Dice la Biblia en Romanos 3:23 por cuanto todos pecaron y están destituidos de la gloria de Dios.
Muerte fisica y espiritual decretada en este solo versiculo.
Dios pudo haber matado a los primeros humanos en ese momento por su desobediencia. ( Adan y eva) Pero en su Gracia infinita en lugar de destruirlos, eligió hacer un camino para reconciliarnos con él.

La gracia comenzó en el Jardín del Edén cuando Dios mató a un animal para cubrir el pecado de Adán y Eva ( Génesis 3:21 ).

La gracia es un tema constante en la Biblia y culmina en el Nuevo Testamento con la venida de Jesús.
Pues la ley por medio de Moisés fue dada, pero la gracia y la verdad vinieron por medio de Jesucristo.
Juan 1:17

La palabra traducida como " gracia " en el Nuevo Testamento proviene del griego charis , que significa "favor, bendición o bondad". Todos podemos brindar gracia a los demás; pero cuando la palabra gracia se usa en relación con Dios, adquiere un significado más poderoso. La gracia es la decisión de Dios de bendecirnos en lugar de maldecirnos, como lo merece nuestro pecado. Es su benevolencia hacia los que no la merecen.
Efesios 2:8 dice:
Porque por gracia sois salvos por medio de la fe; y esto no de vosotros, pues es don de Dios.
Demos gracias a nuestro Señor por esa Gracia inmerecida. Amén.
