Mother's Day 2023
Excerpt from Pastor John Blue's Mother's Day Message: Encountering Jesus through Moms
On this joyous Mother's Day, we gather here at Pacific Point Church in Costa Mesa, California, to delve into a message that holds great significance—encountering Jesus through the mothers in our lives. As we take a moment to honor these remarkable women, let us reflect on the profound ways they shape our faith, demonstrate God's love, and leave lasting impressions on our hearts.
Think of the mothers who have touched your life—their love, guidance, and unwavering support that have played a pivotal role in your journey. In a world filled with distractions and busyness, the impact of a mother's love cannot be overstated. It is through their nurturing presence that we first encounter Jesus, experiencing His love and compassion in tangible ways.
Within the sanctuary of our homes, mothers assume multifaceted roles beyond caregiving. They become the architects of our families, building a foundation of love, patience, and grace that stands strong amidst the challenges of life. It is within this safe and nurturing environment that we have the opportunity to encounter Jesus in the everyday moments.
However, let us not overlook the difficulties that mothers face. They navigate the trials of life with resilience, strength, and unwavering faith. In their own journeys, they show us the unwavering love of God, even amidst hardships. Their ability to rise above challenges, their endurance in the face of adversity, and their unwavering trust in God's providence become a powerful testimony to encountering Jesus in the midst of difficulty.
A mother's love serves as a tangible expression of God's grace and compassion. It is through their selfless acts of care that we witness the embodiment of Christ's love in our lives. From the meals prepared with love and nourishment, to the comforting embraces that offer solace during our darkest hours, to the prayers offered on our behalf, mothers exemplify the transformative power of encountering Jesus through their role as moms.
Today, let us express our gratitude and appreciation not only to our biological mothers but also to all the women who have played a nurturing role in our lives. Let us recognize and honor the countless ways they have shown us God's love, compassion, and kindness.
As we listen to this poignant message on Mother's Day, may we cherish and celebrate the immeasurable impact mothers have on our faith, character, and souls. Let us draw inspiration from their love, compassion, and unwavering devotion as we embark on our own journeys of encountering Jesus through the profound influence of moms. May we honor them not just on this special day but every day of our lives, acknowledging that their love draws us closer to the heart of God.
