A Family Thing

Mark 3:31-35

Jesus' Mother and Brothers
31Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you."

33"Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked.

34Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 35Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother."

Reflection of Bee:

Our life on earth has family ties, both natural and spiritual. At times, we may be closer to our spiritual family than to we our natural family. The reason is that we may spend more times to share and to pray together with our spiritual brothers and sisters who do the will of God. Relationship are formed and develop though spending time together. There is no shortcut to it.

Dear Lord,
Thank You for the big family of God You have given to me. Yes, we want to do Your will to fulfill the Great Commission You have for us. That Your family may get bigger.
Amen.
