Chris Wall • John 19:25-27

We witness a poignant scene at the foot of the cross where Jesus is being crucified. Standing near the cross were Jesus; mother, Mary, and her sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, along with Mary Magdalene. In His final moments, Jesus looks down at His mother and, filled with compassion, entrusts her care to John. On the cross, we know of seven statements Jesus made which were all critically important. In the midst of Christ’s suffering, He faithfully keeps the 5th commandment as He makes sure to honor His mother. This is truth we must not overlook; a lesson we must learn; and an example we must follow.
