Lesson 2423

(Lesson 2423)(08-03-18) Mark 3:31-35
    “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.”

    In today’s quote, Jesus affirmed that all of those who are saved are in the family of God. We are indeed the children of God, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. I believe that those who have not trusted in His saving grace are without that family and doomed to an everlasting hell.
    “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
