Jesus Delegation: The Third Word

John 19:25-27 (KJV)

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Jesus Delegation: Spiritual Relations

It all starts at the "cross". We are nothing without Christ. We are nothing without the Cross. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

Jesus looked to his mother first and speaks and then looks to the disciple of whom He loved and speaks. Jesus who is the Word in the beginning is still calling things into existence. We should understand that it is those that we have good relations with that we learn to love. Those who are closest to us we love mostly. Mostly because we know more about them then those who we do not know. Therefore, it is more to love about them and they we should hold most closely to our hearts. This is the type of knowing that leads to trust. This is exactly how faith works. The just shall live by faith. It is by faith that we grow closer to God.

Jesus reached out from the cross and through all that were happening to Him, He was able to focus on those that were dearest to Him; His mother, His Aunt, a friend named Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene, and the disciple whom he loved and next to the Heavenly Father, whom desired for His Son to be a sin sacrifice for all who would receive Him. I imagine that they were all like family to Him, and of course some were blood related. But we should all learn to love our neighbors and learn, who is our mother, and who is our sister; who is our brother; and being in the love of Christ. There is a spiritual kind of love that runs as deep as blood, being thicker than water, Jesus loved all those that He bleed for, just as He entrusted His mother’s love into the disciple’s love and vice-a-verse. Likewise, God entrusted His Holy Spirit into the hearts of the just. The just is who is your mother, Sister, and brother in the spirit, being those that are walking by faith to faith, for the just shall live by faith.

Jesus work was completed here on earth at the cross, but He continued to build a home for us in His father’s mentioned and Jesus intends to return for those that would receive Him, who names are written in the Book of Life. They were known by God, even before the foundation of the world, because He is an all knowing God. He is omnipotent, meaning all powerful, He is omnipresent meaning seeing all and is everywhere at once, and He is omniscient, meaning he knows all.

So Jesus now gives the order of delegation from the cross. Jesus saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son and then saith He to the disciple whom He loved, behold thy mother! And at both times He says it with exclamation; a Very Strong feeling and a forceful utterance. 1t is here l began to understand that Jesus being purpose focus being about His father′s busy, who is God, even our God that He had already been teaching, even as being on the cross before the day of crucifixion. It was many things that He had already spoken while being in the present of men in regards to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. That the Holy Spirit will show us through our remembrance and by teachings, of the things of Jesus. But it is by the crucifixion of God’s son on the Cross that God had provided the way back to Himself. Which is the work of Jesus Christ who volunteered to take on our sins and it is now by the blood of Jesus that washes our sins white as snow.

Jesus will not exalt Himself in us, but He did exalt God before us, Jesus does lives in our hearts those who are Saints. But HE is revealed to us and is exalted in us--and through us, by the Holy Spirit who is sent to us from our Heavenly Father′ even Jesus Christ. The more we submit to the Holy Ghost then the more Christ can be seen through us. The more time you give yourself to the Holy Spirit then the more the Holy Spirit will make time for Jesus in you. This is the same for the opposite. The less time you give yourself to the Holy Spirit then the less the Holy Spirit will make time for Jesus in you, because we are not forced to worship God. The Holy Spirit will receive the things that are of Jesus and show them to us and through us. Jesus glorified God and the Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus. We who are living by faith, glorifies the work of the Holy Spirit by allowing Him to perform His ministry through us and then we are empowered to perform our ministry in helping God to reconcile who is our mother, sister, and brother back to Him. God is the Father. To God be the glory. Amen.

Get your house in order. Is your soul lined with the blood of Jesus? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you recognized by Jesus as He had recognized those who were at the cross with Him doing His crucifixion? Are you my family in Christ or are you only a neighbor whom I am also delegated to love? By family we are bounded together by love and by the blood of Jesus, but as neighbors we are only bind by love. Jesus saw those being at the cross as family, to be bind by His blood and His love. Have you been to the cross and had your eyes open? He also saw those at the cross who were merely neighbors to be bounded by God′s love because they were at the cross and were not able to see. Do not make God out to be a liar for we all are sinners by nature. Confess your sins and walk with God.
