Matthew 12:49
Jesus was not, by this illustration, saying that his disciples were a better family to him than his own. His family was still his family. But, the disciples were closer still to him than his family because they believed in him and followed him. And, among them there was at least one who was not genuine. Thus, we must be careful not to misunderstand this illustration. Jesus is trying to explain to his hearers how the family of God works.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the things about You that we often forget. We get so busy in our lives with our own lives that we forget about You and all that You do in our lives. You care for us so much. You love us more than anybody else, and yet You are often the last person we think to talk to. Thank You for being so faithful to us, and patient with us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
