Luke 8:22

"But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”"

Key Reflection

Jesus here redefines family in spiritual terms, indicating that true kinship lies not in blood but in obedience to God's Word. This challenges traditional understandings of identity and highlights the importance of living out one’s faith.
