Moses is a very significant figure in the Bible. One such example of this is found in the story of Moses’ two mothers. But the Bible also shows us the sacrifice of mothers and the crucial role they play in giving their children a future in His plan.
The concept of sacrifice is, of course, seen plainly throughout scripture and most importantly, in the pinnacle of sacrifice itself: Jesus. We hope it is an encouragement to you this Mother’s Day.Īny mother reading this will know that having children requires sacrifice sacrificing your time, your finances, your energy, and your personal space (try going to the bathroom without your little ones following you in!). Their lives, through the joys and struggles and heartbreak, tell us something about God and the way that He can empower those who He loves. In this article, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the lives of four women from the Bible who each had a different experience of motherhood. Today we honour all the mothers: mothers that have passed, those longing to have children, mothers who’ve lost children, adoptive mothers, foster mothers, birth mothers, surrogate mothers, mothers in spirit.
