John 19:26-27, “When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the
disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold
thy son! Then saith he to the disciple,
Behold thy mother.”
The third
saying of Jesus when He was being crucified was, “Woman, behold your son and
son Behold your mother.” The incarnate
Jesus was very God but he was also very man.
He was the first born son and with that birthright came the responsibility
of the care of His mother. So, when He
was suffering that cruel crucifixion, He took care to make sure that His
earthly family relationships were taken care of properly. If earthly family relationships meant that
much to Jesus, surely Christian musicians must take care of their family
relationships.
Some Christian
musicians get so busy serving God that he or she fails to care of their
families. When a musician makes the
statement I cannot take care of my family properly because I must put my music
ministry first, that musician is not following Christ’s example. Always putting one’s music ministry first
sounds very spiritual, but it actually is not if that musician’s family
responsibilities are neglected. Christ
left each of us with a beautiful example of fulfilling the work of God and
caring for family at the same time.
