The perfect example of Christ's filial love shines forth with undimmed luster from the mist of ages. For nearly thirty years Jesus by His daily toil had helped bear the burdens of the home. And now, even in His last agony, He remembers to provide for His sorrowing, widowed mother. The same spirit will be seen in every disciple of our Lord. Those who follow Christ will feel that it is a part of their religion to respect and provide for their parents. From the heart where His love is cherished, father and mother will never fail of receiving thoughtful care and tender sympathy.

Dette fuldkomne eksempel på Kristi sønlige kærlighed stråler med uformørket glans gennem tidernes mørke. I næsten tredive år havde Jesus ved sit daglige arbejde hjulpet hende med at bære hjemmets byrder, og nu, selv i sin sidste nød, husker han at sørge for sin bedrøvede, ensomme moder. Den samme ånd vil man finde hos enhver af vor Herres disciple. De, som følger Kristus, vil regne det for en del af deres gudsdyrkelse at ære og sørge for deres forældre. Fra et hjerte, hvor hans kærlighed næres, vil en fader eller moder aldrig komme til at mangle omhyggelig pleje og kærlig deltagelse.
