Family of God!

For Friday, July 8, 2022:

Mark 3:35 NLT, Jesus speaking: “Anyone who does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

God’s Holy Family is given eternal life in God’s presence. We all want to be there, right? So how do we qualify for inclusion in the Family of God?

According to Jesus, it’s simple. Anyone who does God’s will is included! I love his summary of the law: “Love God and love your neighbor!” Make God first in your life. Be nice. Put a smile on your face. Have a positive mental attitude. Stand up for what’s right. Figure out what you can do that will be helpful. After all, that’s what Jesus would do!

Jesus declared believers to be “brothers and sisters” in the coming Kingdom, and that’s Good News!
