In God’s plan for the Christian family, all members affirm that Jesus is Lord through their submission to and love for one another. Together, husbands and wives set the tone, displaying their love for Christ in giving themselves to the privileges and responsibilities of marriage. Children in turn display their understanding of Jesus’ lordship by respecting and obeying their parents. When everyone in the family follows this biblical mandate, it makes for healthy churches and stable societies.

What would Jesus think about Mother’s Day? The brief glimpses provided in Scripture reveal that while Jesus was respectful, courteous, and concerned for His mother’s care, His priority was to do the work of His Father—and although she gave birth to Christ, even Mary was in need of salvation. In this “charcoal sketch,” Alistair Begg surveys the Bible passages that record Jesus’ interactions with His mother. These scenes remind us that, like Jesus, our duty to God must take precedence over everything else, including family loyalty.

I asked the Lord that I might grow
In faith and love and ev’ry grace; 
Might more of His salvation know,
And seek more earnestly His face.

Paul wrote to the Colossian believers to assure them of their identity in Christ and to urge them on to maturity, lest they be drawn away from the truth. Having once been alienated from God, he explained, they were now reconciled by Christ. Jesus’ death covered every individual sin, and one day He would present His people holy and blameless to His Father. As Alistair Begg makes plain, while everyone’s heart is hostile to God, in Christ we have been radically transformed from what we once were.

Mothers are one of the greatest signposts God ever fixed on the earth, carrying on daily with strength, love, consistency, the healing art, and just the right words at just the right time. The amazing love and effectiveness mothers display demonstrates, in thousands of ways, that behind them there is a God who also cares. And where even the best of mothers cannot reach us, heal us, or offer the right words, there is someone even stronger, more perfect and availing. Loving mothers point us to a loving God.
