Jesus’ revolutionary perspective on family:
- Matthew 12:46-50
Big Idea – Jesus prioritized the spiritual family over the biological family.
- Mark 10:28-30
- John 19:26-27
Three distinguishing markers of Jesus’ new family
1. We are unified by our discipleship not our bloodline (Jn 13:34-35)
2. We are fueled by our selflessness not our individual success (Mt 23:11-12)
Letter to Diognetus
