Mother's Day. So 20th Century.
Jesus is yesterday, today and tomorrow. WWJD? We'd
have to say The Wedding in Cana. Jesus brought all His Disciples to visit His Mother and stayed for a few days. Vacation! Wine! Was there anything remarkable... let's remember.... Something in the water?
Gifts - What if we remember to tell Father God we remember the Widow of Nain and her son. There is a Mother's Day Gift!!!
What other Gift? Jesus caused division in His Mother Mary's household among her children. Jesus gave again - Acts 1 and Acts 2. The sons of Mary - Brothers of Jesus Christ - came together to pray daily.
Jesus was asked by the mother of John and James if Jesus would give her sons the Right Hand Seat of Jesus in Heaven to her sons. Jesus said this was for His Father to give and declined. Who would Father God give this to? I'd guess Mary and then Joseph for rescuing the infant Jesus, who is God. Rescue God and God is pleased for the love of the rescuer. Mary probably more than Joseph - for going in to save Jesus, as an adult, setting up His Brothers to tag along in the rescue.
If you want to be intensely drenched in the Mother's Day Discussion - notice with me - There are two Genesis Creation Chapters explaining Creation Twice, Twice. And in one of the Chapters, God explains He is not only Father but, also, Mother because Adam is created with an extra rib, created in the image of God.
High Comfort is our Father God to the Children of God who have only experienced one parent instead of both.
John 2:1-12
On the third day
there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.
3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it.
9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 1
1 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.
The Kingdom of Heaven is Love, Joy, Faith, Peace and Goodness. There is no shortage. Blessings Abound.
