"Behold Your Son… Behold Your Mother"
Message by Pastor Jeff Tucker
Message by Pastor Jeff Tucker
Even in agony, Jesus sees the people standing near the cross. He sees His mother’s grief and the beloved disciple’s presence. With intention and care, He entrusts them to one another. This word reveals love in action. Jesus creates a new family at the foot of the cross. This sermon speaks to those who feel lonely, displaced, or disconnected. It reminds us that the church is not simply an institution or a program. It is a family given by Jesus, formed by His love, and sustained by His care.

Scripture: John 19:25–27
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His mother there, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Dear woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
