Mother of Zebedee’s Children
After three years of Mother’s Day messages, what do you say that is different than before?
Having never been a mother, I am careful not to criticize, or just simply put by foot in my mouth.
Mother’s Day, is a very special day that we honor our godly mothers and grandmothers.
Looking at the history and some of the traditions of Mother’s Day I found out that.
Mother’s Day was found by Anna M. Jarvis May 10, 1908.
Because of the love that Ms. Jarvis had for her mother.
On May 10th, 1908 She held a special memorial service for her mother.
She gave carnation (her mother’s favorite flower) to each person who attended.
Within a few years, the idea of a day to honor mothers gained popularity, and Mother’s Day was observed in a large numbers of cities in the United States.
Nearly six years later, on May 9th, 1914, By an act of congress, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
President Wilson established the day as a time for “public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.
By then it had become customary to wear white carnations to honor departed mothers and red to honor the living, a custom that continues to this day.
Presentation of Carnations.
Can I please have all my Mothers present here today to stand.
In the Mother’s Day tradition of Ms. Anna Jarvis, Friendship Baptist Church like to present you with a carnation.
Thank You Mother’s for all that you do!
Proverbs 6:20-
The Bible says, “that the law of the mother shall lead you and shall be a light unto you and you will remember what your mother taught you through out your life.
Pray
Here are some things mom taught us:
Foresight:
Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you’re in an accident.
Logic:
If you fall out of a tree and break your neck, don’t come crying to me.
Religon:
You better pray, that stain comes out of the carpet.
Time Travel:
If you don’t straighten up, I’m going to knock you into the middle of next week.
Genetics:
You’re, just like your father.
Contradictions:
Shut your mouth and eat your food.
Contortions:
Will you look at the dirt on the back of your neck.
The Circle of Life:
I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it.
A Mother Knows everything.
Kitchen utensils are probably going to wind up outside shoveling dirt.
Having sticky floors, dirty ovens equals happy children.
Knows that dried up play dough, doesn’t come out of shag carpets.
Knows that her child or children like to eat the whole candy bar (all by themselves) and get your drink, and when they return it to you.
It will have floaters in it.
Mother’s are incredible, influential teachers.
Julie and I attended a Mary Lowry concert a couple of years ago, and Mark talked how he loved his mother, praising her for all that she had done for him.
He said, “The best thing that she had done for him was she always prayed for him.
Mark Lowry wrote a song about his mama’s prayer life.
Sing “Mama Prayed”
Today I want to talk about a mother you don’t here to much in the Bible.
But I feel you mothers and grandmothers will get a special blessing.
From her testimony and can you relate to it.
What a mother wouldn’t do to see her children to head in life.
Please turn your Bible to our text this morning:
This text usually preached to showcase negative attitudes and wrong thinking.
Most theologians, believe that the women in our text is quit possibly a woman by the name of Salome’.
We come to this conclusion by looking at the women who stood vigil at the cross.
Matthew 27:
Salome’ is Mary’s, the mother of Jesus, SISTER.
Jesus’ aunt Salome’, the mother of the Disciples James and John, who were probably Jesus’ first cousins.
At first glance it’s a story of a mother (Salome’) trying to get her two boys cushy jobs with the state.
The boys had been brought up by their father, Zebedee, to be fisherman.
Hard work, hard living.
Matthew 4:21-
Matthew 20:
Let’s look at
Matthew 20
When she talks about Jesus’ Kingdom here.
She’s not thinking in the spiritual, heavenly realm.
Rather as a Kingdom that will overthrow the Romans.
Who occupy Israel.
Restore Israel’s former glory.
Working as one of the King’s advisors seems like a whole lot easier way to make a living than a fisherman in Galilee.
A. In these three verses there are some “How To’s” and “What To’s” that Salome’ can teach us.
First, we learn where to go to get the best in life.
Salome’ approached Jesus, bring with her
Her two sons with a perceived need in her life.
Her two sons would find favor with Jesus.
Bad motives aside.
She brings herself, her children, and her request to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible tells us to bring our request (needs and desires) to the Lord.
Needs
Philippians
Desires
Psalm
Matthew 7:
She doesn’t come alone, she brings her children.
There are things that are taught and there are things that can only be caught.
Have you ever noticed that children imitate their parents?
Words
Sense of humor
Good, bad ugly and often even an attitude
A husband leaves his clothes all over the house
The wife gets on to him
The children follow after the father bad habits.
Your children may not always succeed in listening too you
But they will never fail to imitate you.
Salome’ had knelt down before the Lord Jesus Christ (as her Messiah), not her nephew.
She showed
Respect
Submission
