He Will Take Time

The soldiers beat Jesus. They flogged Him. They made a crown of thorns for Him, and put a robe on His bloody, bruised body. He was brought before a mass of Jews-Jews that despised Him, for they had been deceived. Pilate tried to convince the people to let Jesus live. But the people threatened to tell Caesar that Pilate had spared a man who had made Himself a king. In the end he gave in to the Jews, and Jesus was delivered to be crucified.

Jesus carried His cross up to Golgotha, The Place of a Skull. There they crucified Him, with two thieves, one on each side of Jesus. Pilate also wrote a message that was placed on Jesus' cross. It said, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews," in three languages. The soldiers took Jesus' clothes, and casts lots for it.

People stopped and mocked Jesus, but among them were His mother, His aunt-Mary the wife of Clopas, Mary Magdalene, and at least one disciple. "When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!' Then He said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home."
John 19

In the midst of all that was going on around Jesus, He took care of the woman who had been His mother on this earth. He wanted to know she would be okay. So He asked the disciple whom He loved (John) to take care of her.

Jesus was on the cross, dying, and He still took care of His earthly mother.

Have you ever felt like there is so much junk going on in the world that Jesus needs to worry about, He doesn't have time for you or your problems? You're wrong. This is proof. If Jesus loved His earthly mother so much that while He was dying, He could take some time to make sure she was provided for, then Jesus in Heaven, will take care of you. Even amongst all the other stuff going on in this world, He will take care of you.
