31 Then his mother and his brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you.” 33 And he replied, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And looking at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”
Prayer Focus: I have always felt badly for Jesus’s mother and brothers in this episode. They come to see Jesus and Jesus seemingly dismisses them to make a theological point about the larger family of God that does the will of God. Pray that you might embrace how large God’s family really is, but do not fail to care for your particular family today too.
