Reflections with Andy - Luke 8: 19-21 - Family

In Luke 8:19–21, Jesus’ mother and brothers show up while He’s teaching, but instead of stopping, He says, “My family are those who hear God’s word and do it.” He isn’t rejecting His mom—He proved His love for her at the cross—but He’s redefining family to include everyone who belongs to Him. Luke keeps showing us this theme: Jesus expanding the circle, pulling in women, outsiders, and those on the margins. That means in Christ, we’re family—not because of DNA, race, denomination, or nationality, but because we share the same Savior. And like any family, we may fuss, but we’re still kin in Christ. If you share my Jesus, then you’re my family.
