'Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call Him. A crowd was sitting around Him, and they told Him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for You."
"Who are My mother and My brothers?" He asked.
Then He looked at those seated in a circle around Him and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! Whoever does God's will is My brother and sister and mother."'
Self-Reflection:
"THEN HE LOOKED AT THOSE SEATED IN A CIRCLE AROUND HIM..."
Ask yourself:
"AM I ONE OF THOSE SEATED IN JESUS' CIRCLE?"
"DOES JESUS CONSIDER ME HIS MOTHER? BROTHER? SISTER?"
"AM I MEETING JESUS' CRITERIA TO BECOME PART OF HIS FAMILY?"
Jesus said:
"WHOEVER DOES GOD'S WILL IS MY BROTHER & SISTER & MOTHER..."
You may ask yourself, "WHAT IS GOD'S WILL?"
Romans 6:23 says,
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."
"REPENT!" (Turn from Sin)
"CONFESS!" (Ask for Forgiveness)
"RECEIVE!" (The person of Jesus as Savior & Lord)
"FOLLOWING JESUS DEMANDS OBEDIENCE TO HIS FATHER'S WILL!"
"GOD'S WILL IS THAT NONE WOULD PERISH BUT THAT ALL COME TO THE SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST!"
