We're family

There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.  And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.  And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?  And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!   For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
Mark 3:31-35

Does this mean that Jesus denied his biological family? Jesus did not deny them but enlarged the family to include all who do the will of God. We become members by obedience to God.

Family is very important for nurture hence when we do God's will along with others we become closely knit with one mission. We should love one another and not be divided. Though tongues and tribes may differ yet we are one big family in Christ.
