“Look at what he had to say every single time his mother was being discussed.”

Yes, He never has seemed sentimental! There is a frightening quality to Jesus Christ because we are, on many levels, cowardly hiding from Him...as if He in any way meant us real harm.

I know He loved Mary, yet unsentimentally rejected any attempt to exalt her.

I notice that he really seemed to love people but more from an eternal perspective rather than their life in their temporary tent (the human biological machine).

I am thinking of his comments to his disciples who were amazed by human structures and his “not one stone left on another” remark. It’s as if to him this is all temporal. In a very real sense, as if it is all “The Matrix”.
