Jesus makes use of the occasion of the arrival of his mother and relations to speak about the new family of believers. Everyone who listens to him and does the will of his Father is part of the family of God. It is an invitation for the people to come to him and be part of the kingdom of God. He establishes a strong bond with his followers as good as that of a mother, father, brother or sister. This relationship is not reserved for a few. Every person has easy access to the membership in God’s family. Whether black or white, Asian or African, of any race or culture, we all belong to the one family of God when we listen to the Word and live according to the will of our heavenly Father.
