“Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, ‘He is out of his mind.’ … Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, ‘Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.’ ‘Who are my mother and my brothers?’ he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.’”
Mark 3:20-21, 31-35
The family we get to be a part of in the kingdom of God is absolutely incredible! Jesus’ statement here is powerful and challenging. He is saying that ANYONE who DOES GOD’S WILL is FAMILY. This is a teaching that many are afraid to utter because of the persecution it can bring from blood relatives.
