It brings me to tears when I think about what Jesus did for me on the cross. He knew that He must endure that agony so that every man could have a way back to God because of sin coming into the world. He was a human, though, and the pain was excruciating. He dreaded it just as we would have if we had been facing the same thing.
As a mother myself, it is hard to even imagine the horrible pain that Mary must have felt as she watched her beloved son being beaten almost to the point of death; then if that wasn’t enough, he had to carry his own cross to be crucified and endure the pain and humiliation of that even though He had done nothing to deserve this kind of horrible death.
I feel sure that those graphic images stayed in her mind for many years to come. Only a mother’s love could have kept her standing there at the foot of the cross.
Even though she knew Jesus had supernaturally come from God to perform a specific task, she still loved Him dearly as any good mother would love her child and must have missed Him terribly when He had to leave.
Spend some time today contemplating the awesome love that Jesus displayed for you when He died on the cross for your sin.
