Matthew 12:46-50:
In this Gospel passage Jesus turns the understanding of family upside down. Society in his time places a very high value on blood relationship. Jesus challenges this by saying that spiritual relationship comes before blood relationships. Family consists of those who do the will of God.
I know God’s view of the world does not have barriers or borders. I pray for that same view as I consider my human family.
