Mary And The Passion Of Jesus

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 13, 2018

Simeons prediction that, 'A sword will pierce your own soul too' to Mary was to come true time and time again and how it must of hurt. Mary was there and watch the happy, the terrible and horrific moments of her Son ministry but could do nothing.

Mary and the Passion of Jesus The words of Simeon spoken in the temple to Mary: "This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel....and a sword will pierce your own soul too."

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 4, 2020

Even the best mothers are concerned with the conflicting currents flowing through them. I am sure that mothers contend with more of a degree of tension when it comes to being a parent, a mother. Then the Lord brought to mind, Mary, the mother of Jesus.
