Scripture Text: Luke 1:26-38
A Model for Mothers
Luke 1:26-38
I can’t think of a time when it is more difficult to be a Christian mother than today.
With the value of motherhood being demeaned, it seems that a responsibility of the church is to lift up motherhood once again the way God would want it lifted up.
Here in this little town of Nazareth, tongues must have been wagging and gossip rampant. “There’s Mary. She’s pregnant and she’s not married.”
Our children need to learn that the most valuable things in life money can’t buy.
There are a lot of single parents today. And I want to say to you single moms, and dads too, “You are the unsung heroes of the church.”
And can you imagine the pain she felt as she watched Jesus crucified on Calvary’s Hill?
One of the finest things we can do, men, is to support our wives. Let them know we love them and are behind them and will support them in virtually every decision they make.
We’re seeing more and more the value of the roles that aunts, uncles, and grandparents are playing in raising children. Who is that person for you?
One day we will be with Jesus. One day we will be a part of the great family of God in the place that God has prepared for us through Jesus Christ. And there we’ll live with Him for all eternity.
