Johnny Cash’s song “When the Man Comes Around” mistakes Jesus’ words in this text; betraying a macho version of Christianity that has too often been afraid of feminism and femininity. Jesus surrounded himself with women and men; not as a harem, but as a family. Jesus shows us what the love of a mother is for children; what the care of a mother hen for her chicks is.
