One of the tasks of the theologian is to explain the enormit
that can easily be understood. This task has a name, Hermensome attributes of God are harder to explain than others, aalways welcomed. Mother’s Day is one such aid because it hethe vastness of God’s love. On this day, our society directs mother’s love for her children and family.
This analogy is not lost upon the Biblical writers. Thexamples in Holy Writ that compare God’s love for humanisimilar to a mother’s love for a child. Consider these examples:
Isaiah 66:13—“As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort
Isaiah 49:15—“Can a woman forget her nursing child, ocompassion for the child of her womb? Even these may forgetforget you.”
Hosea 13:8—“I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her ctear open the covering of their heart…”
Matthew 23:37—“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the pstones those who are sent to it? How often have I desired tochildren together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings…
In these few examples, God’s consoling, protecting, and similarly portrayed to that of a mother’s love for her children. Hday we honor and thank mothers for their love, we also allow our gaze upward to God’s love for us.

One of the tasks of the theologian is to explain the enormity of God in ways that can easily be understood. This task has a name, Hermeneutics. Because some attributes of God are harder to explain than others, any helpful aid is always welcomed. Mother’s Day is one such aid because it helps in explaining the vastness of God’s love. On this day, our society directs their focus to a mother’s love for her children and family.
This analogy is not lost upon the Biblical writers. There are multiple examples in Holy Writ that compare God’s love for humanity as something similar to a mother’s love for a child. Consider these examples:
Isaiah 66:13—“As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you…”
Isaiah 49:15—“Can a woman forget her nursing child, or show no compassion for the child of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.”
Hosea 13:8—“I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, and will tear open the covering of their heart…”
Matthew 23:37—“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it? How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings…”
In these few examples, God’s consoling, protecting, and rescuing love is similarly portrayed to that of a mother’s love for her children. How fitting on the day we honor and thank mothers for their love, we also allow this day to draw our gaze upward to God’s love for us.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

The Call to Prayer
Take this moment to prepare to speak to the One who is more focused upon our hearts than upon our words. One who is more committed to us and our soul’s well being than we are to our body’s comforts and pleasures. One who has shown us by the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ the seriousness with which He makes our appointment. The only One who loves us just because His love is greater than our sin. Free yourself in these moments from your fear-filled secrets by prayerfully confessing them in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
