This list of Bible verses about mothers and sons is specific to where mothers and sons are found together in the scriptures. Every verse where they are found together is listed here.
The Bible has a lot to say about mothers and sons.The love of a mother to her son is truly a gift from the Lord.
And the love of a son for His mother is unmatched. Even Jesus himself loved Mary so much, that from the Cross, he made sure his disciple John was going to take care of her!
In the strangest way, it reminds me of those NFL, NBA, MLB, and Olympian players that always seem to find a moment in the competition to look at the camera, blow a kiss, and say “I love you mom! this is for you!”.
The unconditional love and unbreakable bond for our boys is enough motivation to keep going in the faith. Our children drive us to want more for their life and stay in the faith so that they know to turn to Christ for everything. So that they know where our blessings come from and who deserves the glory.
