Re:Verse passage – Mark 3:31-35 (day five)
“For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.” When Jesus proclaimed “the Kingdom of God is at hand” in Mark chapter 1, He was announcing that life would look and feel different as a citizen of this new kingdom. Being a citizen of God’s Kingdom would affect everything. Priorities, practices, prejudices, and now relationships were being redefined by love, service, grace, and obedience. Life in God’s Kingdom was/is larger and longer that people recognize. It is fitting that Jesus reshapes they way we should think and feel about other believers too- family. Vulnerability, forgiveness, sacrifice, accountability, and obedience all are distinguishing marks of the members in the “family of God”.
