Mothers, Like No Other
Matthew 20:20-28; Mark 7:24-31; John 2:1-12
Happy Mother’s Day!
This morning, it’s my honor to focus my message on Mothers.
This is a day that touches everyone.
I’m mindful that Mother’s Day and the
general topic of “mother”, affects everyone differently.
But for the most part,
Mothers and Motherhood brings warm and loving thoughts – whether our mothers
remain with us now or if they have departed to be with the Lord.
Some might still be in search of their mothers; others are hoping to repair the
mother-child-adult child relationship.
Nevertheless, regardless of how we as
children process and surmise the meaning of our Mothers, from God’s vantage
point, the purpose and position of every mother is that they are a gift from Him.
Thank God for the gift of our mothers.
Mothers are truly a gift from God.
They are like no other.
So because of that, I
would like to speak to you from a message entitled: Mothers, Like No Other!
The thought of “Like No Other” emphasizes the uniqueness of something or
someone as compared to all other things.
Well, the verdict is in – of all the things
outside of Jesus, there is no comparison to God’s creation of the position of Mother
and Motherhood.
In this message, I simply want to illustrate how it is that Mothers are like no other
and why.
Of course, to draw out the essence of this message, I want you to reflect on the
many things in life that have earned the label of “Like No Other”.
For instance, a
“like no other” experience might be:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Getting your first bicycle or car
Living in the outdoors – being one with nature/camping
Getting Saved, being Born Again
Moving from being poor to being rich, and vice versa
Growing up in a certain culture or ethnicity
Experiencing your first love; or your first kiss, or reconnecting with a lost
love or loved one.
• Experiencing a miracle
• Getting or accomplishing something long anticipated: Graduation, dream
house, or fantasy trip.
You get the picture.
The euphoria and excitement that a “like no other” experience
brings is beyond compare.
So, it is with mothers.
Mothers, you are beyond comparison.
In fact, that’s the
only way God would have it.
Can you think of anything or anyone that compares
to your mother, or that tops God’s invention and creation of the position of
Mother?
I can’t!
So, from the Bible, I want to site three illustrations (there are plenty more) that
portrays the spirit of Mothers, Like No Other.
But first, let me ask – “In your assessment, “What makes Mothers “Like No
Other”?
Could it be her:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Unselfishness/Selflessness?
Her patience?
Careful tolerance?
Life-giving ability
Determination and persistence?
Spirituality
Understanding spirit
Her tenderness?
It would be all of the above; but above all, it is her Unconditional, unbiased, and
fearless Love.
Listen to these three illustrations of three different mothers being like no other
and going where no father has ever gone before!
I want you to simply catch the spirit of motherhood in these illustrations:
Illustration One:
Matthew 20:20-28
Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him [Jesus] with her sons,
kneeling down and asking something from Him.
20
21
And He said to her, “What do you wish?”
She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right
hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”
But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask.
Are you able to
drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I
am baptized with?”
22
They [the sons] said to Him, “We are able.”
So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not
Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”
23
24
And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers.
But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the
Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.
26
Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among
you, let him be your servant.
27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let
