DAY 7
THE LAST SEVEN WORDS OF CHRIST
WORD 3: CARE
John's Gospel emphasizes Jesus' divinity, portraying Him as sovereign even in His crucifixion. He orchestrates events, ensuring His mother's care through John, reflecting His deep filial piety and authority. This portrayal highlights His control and forethought, contrasting with the vulnerability typically associated with crucifixion narratives.
In what ways can I emulate Jesus' compassion and responsibility towards others, even amidst personal trials?
Heavenly Father, as Jesus cared for His mother amidst His own suffering, teach us to honor and care for those You have placed in our lives. May we embody the strength and compassion of Christ, ensuring no one we love is left uncared for, even in our hardest moments. Amen.
