The Heart of the Master (John 19:25b-27)

When we look at the seven last words of Christ on the cross, one saying that truly shows the heart of Christ is recorded in the book of John - Woman, here is your son, and Son, here is your mother.  By caring for his widowed mother as he hung on the cross, Jesus did more than just show compassion for one person, but rather, he revealed his heart to be that of God, in that right to the end he was caring for orphans and widows.  People often wonder about the deity of Christ, and yet here it is on display for all to see.  It's a rather revealing word that John gives us.
