Subject: What is Jesus' message to us? |
Bible Note: Good observation.. Jesus is clearly speaking to John here, but you view this as a burden that all mankind must carry. If this is so, then what is the 'burden' here and how is it based on the life of Jesus or what Jesus did on the cross? Can we continue to 'care' for Mary even though Mary is dead? I'm not sure how you can attribute Jesus' message to all mankind, since there is nothing in Scripture to show that He was speaking to or referring to anyone other than John. |
