This Sunday, as we continue in our teaching series, “WHAT JESUS SAID IN RED”, we examine the third of the seven, recorded statements, Jesus made while dying on the Cross.  This statement, found in John 19:25-27, is a very personal statement of love Jesus makes directly to his mother and one of his very best friends.

Jesus endured incredible pain as his organs began shutting down. Even in the midst of that great suffering, Jesus lovingly provides for the long-term care of his mother.  Only by using the stake driven through his feet as a cruel step, could Jesus gain every breath needed to speak a word.  Pushing Himself up Jesus would utter these loving words of provision and protection for his mom, demonstrating his deep devotion as her eldest son.  His words here, though brief, teach us much of what it means for us to love the Jesus way.

Early in his teaching ministry, Jesus began teaching His followers that, “TO LOVE”, was the greatest commandment of all.  The way He died boldly demonstrated what He had declared.  Nobody ever loved like Jesus; and yet He called all who would follow Him, to love as He loved.

Consider this is my personal invitation to you, to join me, this Sunday at our service at 9:30 or 11AM, or in our livestream service at 11AM on riverbluff.live, as we learn to love the Jesus way!
