I'm pretty amazed that while Jesus was hanging there not only in excruciating pain, but bearing the weight of the sin of the world (yeah, I can't even wrap my brain around what that must have been like...that is too intense for words) but while all this was happening around Him- pain, impending death, abandonment, the darkness of our sin, rejection, mockery, torture...He still wanted to make sure His mom was going to be taken care of. Totally selfless. How easy is it for me to lose myself in my own issues- they seem so big at the time and because, well... they're mine. We let the world revolve around us- what we're going through, our hurt, our situation, our circumstance and when we do, everything else falls to the side. All efforts and attention go to us and "our thing." It's pretty hard to look out for someone else when you're navel gazing. But in reality, it doesn't even measure to a fraction of what He experienced and still He lay self aside to look out for His mother. Wow, this passage really exposes selfishness in me.
