Our Family

 

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers

Matthew 12: 46=50

⁴⁶ While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. ⁴⁷ Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”

⁴⁸ He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” ⁴⁹ Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. ⁵⁰ For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

Family is one of the most precious gifts God has given us.  All may not be "perfect",  but family cares, supports, encourages, comforts, challenges.  Family makes "home" and that's where we received most of what makes us who we are today. Then how much more does it mean to be a part of the family of Jesus?  Mary as our Mother, Joseph, our father, and the rest of us, brothers and sisters.  Doesn't get much better than that!
