Devotion for March 2 - Jesus' family

Mark 3:31-35
Then his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent to him and called him. A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, asking for you.” And he replied, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!5Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”



All those who follow Jesus
no matter whom they may be
and who follow the will of God
are family for you and me.

They may be a different color
and a culture we may think odd
but they are Jesus’ family
and children of our good God.

Jesus loves all those people
we’ve chosen not to OK
but God can help us accept them
if we’re serious when we pray.
