John 19: 25 – 27
“The Affection of Christ from the Cross”
·         We see his humanity
·         We see his loyalty to family
·         We see his provision as the first born
I have a question …
“Where are HIS ½ brothers, we know that Jesus had at least two (James and Jude), who would eventually become followers Christianity.
·         He fulfilled his role as the 1st born son! He took care of business!
o   Jewish custom said it was his responsibility to take care of her and if he couldn’t, he would appoint someone to do it.

o   Women (Mother) behold your son …
§  There is no disrespect in his words by the use of the term Women; it was common greeting back then, unlike today.

o   Son behold your mother
§  He entrusted her to his closest friend, the disciple who Jesus loved.

·         He fulfilled his role as Savior:
o   Even as the Messiah’s Mother (Mary) still fell into that category of ALL HAVE SINNED!
