“His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent word to him and called him. A crowd was sitting around him and told him, “Look, your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are outside asking for you.” He replied to them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” Looking at those sitting in a circle around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”
Mark 3:31-35
Often times we fall for the line “there’s nothing more important than family,” but that’s not exactly true. Jesus is number one. Now, God gave us the family, so it is a gift and a blessing. However, if our family ever comes between us and serving the Lord, in the Bible the choice is clear, we follow Jesus. I think most of the time we don’t have to make a choice, we can have amazing times with our family as well as our church-family, often at the same time. It’s a matter of priorities, Jesus is number one.
