Jesus' Family
Then Jesus' mother and brothers came. They stood outside and
sent a person in to tell Jesus to come out. Many people were
sitting around Jesus. They said to him, "Your mother and
brothers are waiting for you outside." Jesus asked, "Who is
my mother? Who are my brothers?" Then Jesus looked at those
people sitting around him. He said, "These people are my
mother and my brothers! My true brother and sister and mother
are those people that do the things God wants."
-- Mark 3:31-35 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus' family can be found where the words of Jesus and the will of God
are cherished and obeyed. This is not said to slight those with whom we
have biological family ties. However, it is a reminder that our family
relationship in the Spirit of God is stronger than physical family.
Jesus' family is the forever family of people who love him, obey him,
and allow his Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and empower them.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Precious God and Righteous Father, forgive me for my disobedience in
the past. Empower and encourage me to be more passionate for your will
in the future. Dear Father, I want to show my love to you, and to your
Son, by doing what you ask and obeying what you command of me. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
