Mothers Day
From the Pastor’s Desk
I once received a letter from a former member of our fellowship. She wanted to thank me for my teachings on the importance and the value of women. I guess she had spent too much time in the Old Testament, which most people portray as a time of “men only” – A time when women were often in the background and did not seem important. I teach differently and I believe that even the Old Testament teaches differently. First, the woman was God’s gift to a lonely man in need of a helper. Secondly, she was formed from man’s rib indicating that she would always be by his side. Third, when Adam sinned, causing universal decay, it was to be through the “seed of the woman” that this sin problem would be resolved. In fact, at all Jewish Feasts it would be the woman who God designated to light the festive candles because, it would be through the motherhood of the woman who would bring forth the “LIGHT of the WORLD”. There are many scriptures both old and new that compare and parallel the love of God with the love of motherhood. Today, we will explore those scriptures and today we will all remember that person in each of our lives “Our Mother”.
