“Mother & Brothers”

“Mother & Brothers”

Blessings folk!

The scribes accused Jesus of having an unclean spirit.
Jesus called the accusation blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Remember, Jesus’ “own people” thought He had “lost His senses.”

Now, watch what happens next…

Mar 3:31-35

Then His mother and His brothers arrived,
and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him.

A crowd was sitting around Him, and they said to Him,
“Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.”

Answering them, He said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”

Looking about at those who were sitting around Him,
He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers!

“For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”

Jesus’ mom and brothers arrived.
They sought to speak with Jesus.
Were they wanting to get Him away?
Perhaps.
At least the brothers would want to “get Jesus under control”.
They did not believe.
Mother did believe.
She knew.

The crowd told Jesus that His family was looking for Him.
Jesus’ response?
Who are My mother and My brothers?

He was not disrespecting His mother/brothers?
He was presenting a larger point.
He was revealing a portion of His purpose.

All who do the will of God, they are Jesus’ brother, sister, and mother.
Those who do the will of God are the family of God.
Are you of the family of God?
