And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever. He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and began to serve him.
(Matthew 8:14-15 ESV)
God put the commandment for us to honor our parents at the top of human relationships. He told us how much it reflects our relationship with Him, and affects our lives. Jesus demonstrated great honor towards His own mother. He also looked upon other mothers with love and compassion. On one He ran into a funeral procession for a man who was the only son of a widow. Seeing her condition, he raised the man to life. Here, He enters Peter's house and SEES his mother-in-law sick. Immediately He is drawn to here to heal her. Are we looking out to find mothers (and mother-in-laws) who need some love and compassion, and no one is there for them? May we honor them and glorify God.
