On Mothers Day we come to John 16:1-4. Although this passage is not directly about mothers, it is reminiscent of concerned mom. Notice the main point found in verse 1: “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.” In other words, what Jesus is saying, and has said, to His disciples is evidence of His deep and unending longing to care for them. Not that earthly fathers are careless, but a concerned mother’s direct care is glaringly or flagrantly aggressive. Reading John 16 inspires one to think that God the Son is the motivation for such a ministry. Enjoy the study.
