Enduring to the End

So what I've learned for this week is simple.. but as I was going over the new testament again I realized that there are three accounts of the Crucifixion and atonement of Jesus Christ. As I was reading one part that stuck out to me was in Luke I believe.. but it is when Jesus is crucified and his mom is there underneath the cross and Jesus says "Behold, my mother!" and she replies "Behold, my Son".   I was thinking about that.. if you read it right then it makes sense but Jesus I think is saying like "Behold mother ... why are you here"? (his apostles are there with them and later tells them to take his mom away.) She says "Behold, look at what they are doing to you" but even though his mom and apostles are there he does what is needed instead of giving up ... He finishes what he was sent here to do.  He endures to the end. Like us all ... let us endure through all trials to the end no matter who is there or what happens.
