Mark 3:31-35 ( whoever does the will of God is my brother, sister and mother )
In the passage Jesus was teaching the crowd and people came to Him and said, your mother and siblings are looking for you.
Jesus redefined the basis of His family, it is no longer blood relation that matters to Him but the will of God, He made it clear that His mother and siblings are those who do the will of God. By doing this He has invited Us to the Universal family of God, this shows that Jesus is more interested in those who are willing to serve God, than His family.
Jesus also implemented that, the fact that you're a Christian does not make you a child of God, it doesn't guarantee you anything, it doesn't save you from hell, but doing the will of God makes you a child of God, and what are the will of God? When we say the will of God people see it as big task, but i tell you the will of God is simple.
• Do what is right
• Don't do what is wrong
• Fear God
• Do his commandments
• Worship Him
• Love your neighbors
• Do go to people
All of these are right and it won't cost you anything to maintain them. The people who do the will of God are the only people who would meet God in eternity.
Prayer : Almighty God we thank you for a new day, We thank you for your word, open our minds that we may understand your word, grant us your grace that we may abide by your will. Save us from temptation and evil on this day and grant us our heart desires. In Jesus Name. Amen
