God the Mother's Boundless Love

There is a true story about a mother who was buried under the rubble of an earthquake, along with her baby. Being trapped under the debris, the mother’s only wish was to keep her loving child alive. She eagerly struggled to breastfeed her baby, but was unable, due to her own malnourishment. As the days went by, the mother became desperate to find a way to feed her dying child. In a last attempt keep her precious baby alive, she used a sharp rock to cut off the tip of her finger and allowed her child to suck the blood dripping from her finger. When the rescue team arrived, the mother was dead, but the baby was still alive; the mother had sacrificed her own life to save her child.

Through the selfless love and sacrifice of this mother, I can come to understand more Christ’s boundless love to save sinners.

“Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom 5:7-8

How can I even fathom the love of Christ? Christ came down out of heaven to this world, in the flesh, having to breathe the air of this world, and underwent extreme pain, suffering, humiliation and crucifixion in order to save us.

Now, Heavenly Mother is walking the path of suffering.

“But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.” Gal 4:26

“And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.” Rev 21:10

Though many people blaspheme our Mother, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and say the same things to her that they said to Jesus Christ, her undying to love to save the sinners remains immovable. Zech 12:3

I am so thankful for the boundless love of God the Mother who sheds her blood for us every day.
