John 16:21 GW
A woman has pain when her time to give birth comes. But after the child is born, she doesn’t remember the pain anymore because she’s happy that a child has been brought into the world.

It takes a village to raise a kid…where’s the village? Where are the father’s?

Love is tested, suffering comes.

,

Proverbs 10:1 GW
The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes his father happy, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

,

1 Timothy 2:15 KJV 1900
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
…Suffer…because of the sin-curse of Eve
It seems at times that being a Mother is an unappreciative role…especially the things we have 2 go thru.
We’re pressured & the feelings of joy have succumbed to the sorrows & pains.
TEXT: Disciples are perplexed at what Jesus was telling them...

His analogy compared to a Mother giving birth…painful & hard.

He was showing His disciples how they would feel @ His death, but offers them hope of His resurrection.

…showing His disciples how they would feel @ His death, but offers them hope of His resurrection.
The Bible is filled w/many Mothers who have suffered for their children:

A. Eve - son Cain who killed his brother

B. Sarah(barren) - influenced her own husband to sleep w/his handmaid Hagar

…suffered (1/2 brothers have torn the family apart
,
Genesis 25:22 GW
When the children inside her were struggling with each other, she said, “If it’s like this now, what will become of me?”So she went to ask the Lord.

C. Rebekah - loses 2 sons because they became rivals, after she influenced Jacob to deceive his father/her husband for the inheritance.

Mother’s Block - Defend at all cost

Don’t choose character over prosperity

Some Mother’s suffer because they try to live out their failures by engaging so deeply in their child(ren) accomplishments, by drawing attention to themselves & becoming very competitive.

Salome - zealous for her sons

Laudable when it comes into alignment w/the Word of God & His purpose.

Don’t allow the ambitions of your child cost you to be humiliated.

If you selfishly pursue to be noble, you will lose respect.

She knew she was privileged…her sons James & John were disciples of Christ(close).
She requested that her son’s be on each side of Christ in the Kingdom.

Request from maternal pride doesn’t come from real faith.

Jesus rebukes Salome for her erroneous zeal…reproof(correction).

Intimacy w/Christ means fellowship & requires suffering.

Christ still shows us compassion in our incomprehensible state of mind
