Jesus models the Fifth Commandment while on the cross:
To His mother Mary he says, "Woman, behold your son!"
To His disciple, He says, "Behold your mother!"
. . . and in doing so, sees to it that Mary, His earthly mother is provided for by His disciple.
Through the following exhortation, one can appreciate anew the honoring of our parents, and ultimately God's provision for us all. |
