What does Mother’s Day mean to a believer?

Thanks to God’s prophet, we all know how special a real mother is. And we know that by the Grace of our Lord Jesus, we all have the opportunity to spend eternity with the loving mother that has meant so much to us over the years. All the love, prayers, and sorrows Mother has endured for her children will be rewarded on that glorious day.

In honor of this special day, we are posting 10 different translations of the sermon titled “Mother’s Day,” preached on May 10, 1959. After listening to this sermon, we truly know what a special gift a real mother is.

It gives us the promise that someday that these old weakening, feebled, gray-headed, broke down mothers will be changed. Not only will mother set there by herself, but all of her family with her. And what a day that will be. What a time it will be, when we look upon the faces of those who we have loved so well. What a difference on that morning when we shall see our loved ones, and--and to watch what they'll be. Then all the afflictions will be taken away. All the mars of suffering will be done, no more pale cheeks of death, no more tears from the eyes; the resurrection promises all of this. There'll be no more funerals, no more patting the baby on the cheek that's like a piece of stone, where the undertaker has embalmed, and pushed out, and put paint on, and so forth, to look natural. It'll never be needed again there.
