2,000 years ago a new faith exploded onto the scenes around Jerusalem founded on the life and teachings of a man named Jesus Christ…..My life is based on that man……

 

But today, I am going to focus on what happened 48 years ago.

 

48 years ago I was on life support.  I was clinging to my very life and only surviving because of what we call our navel.

 

It was not only bringing me oxygen, nutrition, antibiotics, and all of the things necessary to life….it was also taking away all of the things that could harm me like toxins, carbon dioxide, and waste.

 

And the only way this worked was that I was connected to my mom…..she was supplying all of it.

 

Now, in those 9 months that I was on life support, my mom experienced phenomenal changes:

  • Her blood volume increased by 50%
  • She grew a new organ
  • Her sense of smell was heightened incredibly—even making “normal” things smell terrible
  • Her body endured many, many more miraculous changes in order that I might find life
  • She endured many things in order that I might have life

 

Now I know that many would look at the Christian life and say:  “that is crazy”…..but I would respond and say:  the way we were born and came to be is CRAZY.  You see, it is nothing short of a miracle that a baby is even born…..and yet we sometimes, as people, just walk through life and do not recognize how miraculous it truly is.

 

I think this is probably what Albert Einstein was talking about when he said:  “There are only two ways to live your life.  One is as though nothing is a miracle.  The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

 

I choose the latter……but I choose it based on my faith in Jesus—-not Albert Einstein.

 

So today, let’s ask Jesus what He says about our wonderful moms.

 

Here is what He says:

  • When you honor your mom–It blesses you!  

Ephesians 6:1-3

  • Keep your mom’s teachings bound to your heart.

Proverbs 6:20-21

  • Think about your mom in all circumstances.

John 19:25-27

 

I hope that you celebrated your mom yesterday….I hope that you took her out to dinner and gave her flowers and a card and really poured into her.  I hope that you told her that you loved her and made sure she understood how important she is to you and all of those around you………

 

But if you didn’t, you can do it today.  Because chances are she thinks about you every single day of the year and every hour of the day.

 

No other relationship shows the commitment of Jesus Christ to come down and free us than that of a mom who cares for her family.

 

Appreciate it and honor it.

 

In The Name of the Father and the Son

and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
