Jesus has just chosen and appointed his twelve disciples, the crowds following Him are surging in size, and all of the signs of the Kingdom are in full swing - people are being healed, set free and becoming Christians. But in response - we see that Jesus is met by conflict. Unsurprisingly, the Pharisees are attempting to silence him, but certainly more shocking - his family describe him as ‘out of his mind’ and intend on taking charge of him. In light of these responses, and Jesus’ subsequent comparison between biological family and the family of God, what can we learn? How is God’s family different from our human experiences of family? and why should the Kingdom take precedence?
