Mark 3:33-35 NLT
“Jesus replied, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Then he looked at those around him and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers. Anyone who does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.””
Jesus understood why He came and that people wouldn’t all accept Him as Lord and Savior. He was sharing how we as followers of Jesus would never be alone. There is a true connection when we take God seriously and desire to die to self and live for Him.
He even said that He didn’t come to bring peace, He came to bring truth, the sword, the Word of God,
Matthew 10:34-36 NLT
““Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword. ‘I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Your enemies will be right in your own household!’”
It’s not because He wanted it that way, people are selfish and hold onto the things that make them stumble, He wants us to understand everything we need to have eternal life with the Father. Not our will be done but Gods.
Die to self, pick up your cross daily and know the family that will be with you always, then love people with truth, understanding grace and showing mercy. God has for us and gives us the ability to as well. Amen
