There can be no doubt that Jesus had a family on earth. We see His mom and His half-brothers and sisters making appearances throughout the gospels. Here they appeared when He was starting to make waves to try and talk to Him.
When one came to Him saying that his family wanted to speak them He, as usual, turned things around to a spiritual aspect. “Who are my mother and brothers?” He asked. He pointed to His disciples and said that His mother and brothers and sisters were all those Who did His will.
This is an simply astounding truth! Those who do the will of the Father in salvation become a part of the family of God. How can we be considered the brothers and sisters of Christ? It almost seems sacrilegious to say it. But Christ says it Himself – that makes it true!
Praise God that He allows me to be in His family. May I live worthy of it.
