Jesusintroducesanewfamily46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and

brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47Someone told him, Your mother and brothers are standing

outside, wanting to speak to you. 48 He replied to him,

Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? 49 Pointing

to his disciples, he said, Here are my mother and mybrothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in

heaven is my brother and sister and mother.

2 Surely you have heard about the administration of Gods

race that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mysterymade known to me by revelation, as I have already written

briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand

my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made

known to people in other generations as it has now beenrevealed by the Spirit to Gods holy apostles and prophets. 6

This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs

together with Israel, members together of one body, and

sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.Ephesians 3:2-6

14 For he himself [Jesus] is our peace, who has made the

two groups [Jews and Gentiles] one and has destroyed thebarrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his

flesh the law with its commands and regulations.

Ephesians 2:14-15

26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through

faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have

clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew norGentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female,

for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:26

born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem thoseunder the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

Galatians 4:4-5

4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world tobe holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined

us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in

accordance with his pleasure and will 6 to the praise of his

lorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One heloves.

time together and caring for each other through prayer,encouragement, and meeting practical needs. We protect

our relationships with each other by biblically resolving

interpersonal conflicts through humility, grace, and

forgiveness (John 1:12-13; 1 Timothy 5:1-2; Matthew18:15-19).

SoWhat?Spend time this week meditating on the fact that God

invites us to know Him as a Father.

1. Thank Him for adopting you through the work of Christ.

Thanks Him for being perfect.

2. Spend some time working through the Truth About OurHeavenly Father resource. It may be good to let a brother

or sister know you are going to do that so they can pray

for you.

ways you can start making personal choices that will helpRenew truly be an extended family.
