Bible Questions and Spiritual Discussion

The Family
Through Jesus God sent His Son that we would know that our God is a Holy Family and we are in His image.
Husband and wife are one in the flesh Eph 5:31
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
Spiritually we are individually sons of God bound together by the spirit in a cord of three strands.
May we draw our partners towards Christ whose spirit alone can bind us together into one flesh
But let us not forget the family - the children
Just as we the sons of God and have one Father in heaven so the parents are one in fathering their children.
A family that prays together is a family that stays together.

We can look to Mark 3 to see who Jesus considered to be His family:-
31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

So we see at this time His mother Mary and His brothers and sisters were trying to distract Him from the work His Father in heaven had given Him to do. And so He clearly shows us that it is those who do the will of their Father in Heaven. Note it is not what you say but what you do. It is not about blood family.
