Luke 8:20-21 NIV
Who are your mother and brothers? According to Jesus, they are those who hear God's word and put it into practice.
I have read a few articles lately that say we need to change our thinking; that we need to quit thinking about church as family since families tend to be dysfunctional. I'm just not getting that. Of course, we can be dysfunctional. We are not just saints; but, sinners as well. We trample on others. We trample on Jesus. But, we are still family. We have become children of our heavenly Father through the shedding of our brother's blood on the cross. And, because he first loved us; we love him and all our brothers and sister in Him. We are not perfect as He is perfect. But, we keep on trying, with the help of God to love God and one another. We are family!
There is a blood that is thicker than blood. It is the blood of Christ that was shed for you.
God's Peace - Pr. J
