I was reading this morning in I Timothy 5 about the church's care of widows; as I tried to understand the section better, I read this in John MacArthur's commentary I Timothy.
"Jesus spoke from the cross to only two individuals. He forgave the dying thief, and arranged for the care of His widowed mother. Nothing so clearly reveal the heart of God as that. While bearing the burden of the world's sins, Jesus' mind was concerned with the salvation of one sinner, and the care of one widow." (emphasis mine)
