Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too. (Romans 16:13, NIV)
Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. (1 Corinthians 4:15, NIV)
In this little verse in Romans, we get an insight into how much Paul prized this dear spiritual mother in the faith. We all get shaped by other people. The Bible speaks a lot about spiritual fathers and mothers. Where do we find them? How might we become one? Who has helped shape you as a spiritual father or mother, and how do you reflect them now?
