ADHD Gospel, Day 59

The caregivers. Read Mark 15:33-42.

I am at a stage of my life where I have started being a caregiver for my father. Often as our parents get older, we work to help them to be able to do the things that they need to do. This can be a challenging time. It doesn’t mean that we love our parents more or less. It just means that often we have to help them starting off with small things, but ultimately it can include lots of responsibilities.

Being a caregiver is someone who takes on the responsibility of taking care of someone else. Looking at these women to the side of the cross, they were watching the man that they had been caring for over the past 3 years being crucified and dying. They had made meals for him. They had taken care of the laundry. They had seen to all the different details that allowed Jesus in his disciples to be able to go and have the ministry that he had. And now they are watching him die.

As a caregiver, they gave up their lives to be able to take care of him. As we think about our relationship with Jesus, do we see him as our caregiver? He gave up his life to take care of us. Do we truly understand and appreciate what that sacrifice entailed? Are we thankful for all that Jesus has done for us as our caregiver?
