Book: John Print ( PC Only ) JOHN 19:25, 26, 27 "LORD LET ME LIVE FROM DAY TO DAY" I. FIRST THREE CRIES FROM CROSS CONCERNED OTHERS. A. "Father Forgive." B. "Today thou shalt be with me." C. Caring for His mother. 1. Agony of Mary standing at cross. a. Simeon's prophecy being fulfilled. "Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also." II. "WOMAN" BEHOLD THY SON. A. Not addressed as mother. 1. Death to end earthly relationships. 2. She too must no longer look upon Him as son, but as the Lord and Christ. B. Spiritual relationships more real and deeper than human relationships. The minuteness of His loving care, how human and yet how divine, how comprehensive, how minute, how God-like. He governs and sustains the vast universe yet not a sparrow falls without His knowledge. He lights the sun and stars and flings them into orbit but forgets not the glow worm. |
