The merciful Son of God

Having just read of the physical and psychological ramifications of birth-related complications that have plagued mothers anciently until our present 21st century, and the sorrow it summons up in me, I have a renewed appreciation for our Saviour and Lord.

Jesus, the Mother of all living, made in His Father's image through His own begetting, and through His part in our second begetting, understood what all mothers have suffered in childbirth. As God's help meet in the creation of everything, and as His spirit Representative watching every earthly childbirth, He was intimately familiar with every mother's agonies and afterbirth complications. The decision to not marry and have a human family during His earthly sojourn not only must be because He was the Judge and original progenitor of humanity, and thus must remain removed from that level of involvement in human experience (but would experience it all at a deeper level, infinitely deeper and fuller in Gethsemane and on Golgotha), still by abstaining from intercourse He could silently communicate mercy for women whose husbands had caused untold misery, and perpetual discomfort and pain, from childbirth(s).

Jesus' mind came from a completely different setting. His very digestive appetite was appeased by "doing the will of My Father, and finishing His work." (John 4:34). Filled with His Father's mind, which came from an eternity of dwelling in His Father's bosom, Jesus had no need of anything earthly. Although His earthly children are called His younger brethren, our Elder Brother is of an utterly incomparable ilk than, and far above, our animal experience. 

Hence, every injured mothers, and all of humanity, can find their niche in the loving kindness of the Son and in the bosom of God.
