Spoiled by Momma

by John Thomas

Sometimes, I think that a mother's devotion to her children is a whole lot like that of Christ for His Church! We've all seen a mother that constantly picks up after her children, tending to their every need. Mothers are always fixing things, cleaning things, cooking things, forgiving things, and sometimes, even crying over things. A mother always serves and is always expected to. That's just what Mothers do... Right? A mother is usually taken for granted! And usually, they spoil us!
And so we see the comparison to Christ:
He has served us so well, that we many times, take Him for granted. We get a little lazy sometimes, because we think... "He has done it alL" He has paid the price for us. He has done everything. He has made us complete. There is nothing left for us to do, because He has already done it for us! And, after all, that was his job, wasn't it? To come and save us, that is what He was born to do... Right? He is expected to save us, that's just what Saviors do... Right? Christ is usually taken for granted! And usually, He spoils us!
We can't take out the trash one time and say, "Oh, look what I've done, you know I did take the trash out, yeah... I put it in the trash can... what a man!" We Can't just pick up our spiritual undergarments, and think, Oh, Christ will pick up the rest... that's His job! Or...We might make Him cry.
