Grace for your spirit
And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold, My mother, and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister, and mother." Mt 12:49-50
There has always been lots of debate about the family of Jesus. Many religions elevate His mother to deity, and deny the existence of any brothers or sisters. Those around Jesus recognized His family on sight, but Jesus took this opportunity to expand His family to include us. When Jesus rose from the dead and become our mediator, He formed a new family. The family of God was opened to all obedient believers. Obeying Christ is the will of the Father. When we do it, we become children of God, and brothers and sisters with Jesus. Welcome to the royal family today.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
