As we look at the picture of two mothers, we cannot help but think of the love and care the mothers have for their children. It speaks to us of their love and delight in having their children along with them. When children grow up, they often do not think of how much their mothers have done for them, and often they do not like to do what their mothers tell them to do. So God has given us a verse in the Bible about it, which is:
“Hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.” Prov. 1:8.
But let me tell you of the One who loves you a great deal more than even your mother does. Can some of you tell me who that is? I know many of you can answer it right away. It is the Lord Jesus. Yes, dear children, He is the One, and the way that He has shown His love is by dying for you on the cross, bearing the judgment of God for sin. And now He wants you to come to Him. Have you come to Him? Do you trust Him and seek to obey Him, seeing He loves you so much?
