Frederick Buechner suggests that “there's no place in the Gospels where [Jesus] speaks some special, loving word or does some special, loving thing for the woman who gave him birth… No place, that is, except at the very end when, cross-eyed with pain, he looked down from where they'd nailed him and said something just for her... "Behold your son," he said, indicating the disciple who was standing beside her, and then to the disciple, "Behold your mother" (John 19:26-27).” In these words from the cross, what is Jesus saying to Mary, John, and to us?
Scripture: John 19:25-27
