Reflection
Ezra 6:7-8,12,14-20, Luke 8:19-21

“Belonging to God’s Family”
Jesus was a loving son to Mary, His mother. He would never have the heart to insult or hurt the woman who loved Him so much. Rather, He wanted the crowd around Him to grasp the new reality of what it meant to be in the new family of God. In God’s family, they were united as one, not by blood ties, but by their desire to do God’s will. God would be their loving Father and they would be brothers and sisters to each other. No one was better than the other. No one would be honoured more than the other. As children of God, they would do the Father’s will of loving and serving all without discrimination or segregation.
