On Mothers' Day, we remember and honor the mothers in our lives. It is to be a day of celebration, of joy, of deep gratitude for our earthly mothers. But for many, it is a bitter-sweet day for it accentuates not the positive, but the negative. Some mothers perhaps feel like failures for their children did not turn out like they had hoped. Others perhaps grieve children who have died or childlessness. Still others struggle to honor moms who were not good mothers. We live in a broken world with messy relationships and unfulfilled expectations. Is there any hope for us in our broken world? Adam called his wife 'Eve' for she is the mother of all living. She is the proto-mom, the first of many. She is someone who had it all-- a perfect beginning, perfect husband and marriage, and lived in a perfect environment. But because of sin, she lost it all. She lost her innocence, her sense of fellowship with God, her comfortable life, and even marital bliss. She had it all, lost it all, and in spite of it all, though, she had hope! Her hope was that she would bear children and be the 'mother of all living'. Her hope ultimately would be in One of her offspring who would 'crush the serpent's head'! Her hope is our hope, Jesus Christ, for only He can redeem us, redeem our marriages and homes. He is our hope for the broken world in which we live!!
