HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL
MOTHERS!
Only Jesus, our Savior, was the perfect child.
Then the perfect son of Mary, who was also the Son of God,
gave his life on the cross to gain forgiveness for all sins,
including our sins of disrespect and disobedience to parents
and others in authority whom God has placed over us.
Only Jesus can and does offer life and salvation, by faith in
Him who gave himself for us as an atoning sacrifice for all
sins.
As our thanksgiving to Jesus FOR HAVING RESCUED US
FROM SIN, the Lord comands us to love and respect
parents and others over us.
