Last Saying Of Christ: 3rd Saying

Last Saying Of Christ: 3rd Saying

Read: John 19:26-27

Jesus third word on the cross was (John 19 26:27) Woman, behold your son. Son, behold your mother. So, in this saying, we learn that we must take complete care of our parents.

From childhood, we have been taught that we must respect, honour and obey our parents. From the 10 commandments, one commandment also says that we must honour our mother and father. Ephesians 6:1 says that honouring your mother and your father is the first commandment with promise. Once children get older they do not care about their parents and leave their old parents in old-age homes, but in Proverbs 23:22 it clearly says that we should not despise our parents. Only 3 verses about respecting parents are mentioned above but there are a number of verses which tell us so.

In our verse as we know Jesus is part God and part man so in here Jesus is fulfilling his responsibility as a son of Mary and he said John is the son of Mary and Mary is the mother of John. He does so that his mother doesn't feel alone for the rest of her life.


So, we have to respect honour obey and take care of our parents because they are our main priority after God. AMEN
