Family of God

Jesus is dying on the cross for the sins of the world. At the same time there is some unfinished business. His human relationships are dissolved, but life continues. His earthly mother must be cared for.

John 19:26-27

When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

Isn’t it something that our relationship with the God of the universe is the same as any other believer?

Matthew 12:46-50

While He was still speaking to the people, behold, His mother and His brothers stood outside, asking to speak to Him.  But He replied to the man who told Him, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

You can be part of the family of God if you become His follower. Give it some thought.
