January 14
Introduction
Mark 3:20–35: Members of Jesus’s family become concerned about him, and certain religious leaders claim that Jesus is possessed by a demon. When Jesus’s family asks to see him, he defines family in a way that extends beyond blood relations.
Today’s Key Verse: Mark 3:35
[Jesus said]: “Whoever does what God wants is my brother, my sister, my mother.”
Reflect
How does Jesus respond to those who claim he is possessed by a demon? What are your thoughts concerning Jesus’s response to his family (verses 34–35)? According to Jesus, what is required to be a member of his family?
Pray
Lord Jesus, you welcome all who seek to follow you. I seek to do your will. Thank you for inviting me to be part of your family in the Kingdom of God. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
