And looking round at those sitting in a circle about him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of God, that person is my brother and sister and mother.
Mk.3:35
WIth his family outside calling for him, Jesus expands on what it means to be in his family. Anyone who does the will of God.
It's tempting to think that to do the will of God and qualify as God's family one has to be perfect. However, here we have a circle of people simply listening to Jesus and he called them family. Now that I can do and in fact are doing right now.
What a relief...
Thank you Jesus that, by including me in that gaze around the circle, you make me family.
