February 12th Mark 3:31-35: Jesus’ True Family

Sometimes we think about how cool it would of been to live during Biblical times. To be alive and see Jesus do his miracles. Maybe we think it would be cool to be one of Jesus’ half-brothers or some other nearby spectator of his life and miracles. The truth is we are just as close to Jesus as they were, since Jesus is not bound by anything, since he is God. Notice what this passage is saying. Those who do the will of God are the siblings of Jesus. We are his family if we listen to him and obey him. This is pretty cool. We have seen the power of this man. We have seen his authority, who wouldn’t want to be considered his brother?
