Family Business!

 

For Saturday, January 6, 2024:

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

Would you like to have Jesus as your brother? You could wake up in the same house and sit at the same breakfast table. You could learn a lot about God and heaven from listening to him, things that could guide the rest of your life. The icing on the cake is that you’d both report to the same Father!

We all know about the families into which we were born, but Jesus is giving us a second family, our church family. In many ways it’s much more important than your natural family. There are good people at my church who would give the shirt off their back if it was helpful. Outside of your natural family, your best friends in the world should be your church friends. Make it a point to bond with them.

A natural family is sometimes a part of your church family, sometimes not. You might be the one appointed to evangelize, to teach your natural family about Jesus! Following him, you could be the one to lead your entire family into the hereafter!
