“When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.” – John 19:26-27 CSB

4. What invitation is presented to you in living in greater obedience and humility to Christ in seeing, caring for, and acting for the good of others?
