Lessons Mothers Can Learn from the Life of Christ

What can mothers learn from the nurturing ways of Jesus? In his sermon, Paul Thompson highlights how mothers can adopt the nurturing approach of Jesus Christ to disciple their children. Drawing from the way Jesus cared for and instructed his disciples, Thompson explains that mothers can teach their children important aspects of being human, being kind, and being gentle. He emphasizes that a mother can disciple her children by teaching them how to anticipate the sweet and good things of God, much like anticipating a father's return home. Thompson also underscores that while a mother should be nurturing and kind, she should encourage her sons to grow up masculine and her daughters to grow up feminine. He insists that a mother can disciple her sons by helping them learn masculine traits, and her daughters by helping them understand feminine attributes. Through this, children learn to understand and embrace their respective identities. Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV): "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
