There are relatives and there are true relatives. “What do you mean by that?” I hear you already asking.

The Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ was speaking to a crowd, when his mother Mary and his brothers came to see him. We find the names of the Lord’s brothers in the gospel and here are the names: James, Joseph (Joses) Simon and Judas. James became a distinguished church leader. He wrote also a letter and we find the letter in the Bible (James). The Lord Jesus Christ had also sisters.

When the Lord Jesus Christ was told that they desired to talk to him, he asked: “‘WHO IS MY MOTHER?'” “‘WHO ARE MY BROTHERS?'”

Then he pointed to his followers and said, “‘Here are my mother and my brothers.'”

Who is a brother of the Lord Jesus Christ? Who is a sister? Who is a mother of the Lord?

Whoever is does the will of the heavenly Father, is the answer. People who fear the Lord are the true relatives.”

And what a blessing it is to have relatives who are true relatives!
