The greatest hopes and the greatest fears that a godly mother has, have to do with the welfare of her children; both their temporal and eternal welfare. Those whom she has given birth to; she thinks about. As a loving mother, she thinks about how those whom she has raised, are doing presently. And she has thoughts of how they will turn out in this life. Will they be godly children? Will they make her heart glad? Will they find eternal life? Oh what joy comes to a mother’s heart; when this, the greatest of presents is given to her, when Christ gives spiritual and eternal life to her children, and they respond to that gift accordingly. This is what we want to look at this morning. We will look 1st – At the sorrow that sin and death brought to this mother’s heart.

And then 3rd – We will look at how Jesus’ presentation of this young man to his mother brought astonishment and joy to others who witnessed it. May the Lord draw near to each of our hearts this morning, and especially the mothers among us; so that we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
