The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part Oneনমুনা

Daily Reflection: While being accused by his family of being a fraud, Jesus noticed the loyalty of those who stayed present in the turmoil of the moment. Jesus looked to these people and declared them as his new family – an eternal family that will continue to grow as the gospel is carried out in the world. This perspective shifted family loyalty from its limitations of biological connection to a spiritual family made up of all those who have been welcomed into God’s Kingdom.

Daily Demonstration: It’s easy to view your parents and siblings as family, but it is not as obvious to see other believers as a spiritual family. Ask God to open your eyes to this truth. More, ask that God would give you the eyes to see everyone in this light as inspiration to bring them deeper into God’s amazing family. There may be no better time than now – amid a fast – to see the world in this way!
