Family

Kyle Kauffman // Mar 6 2022

Jesus views his family in a unique way. He is not controlled by his family and he warns against the idolatry of family. Yet he honors his family and cares for them even in the moments of greatest agony. He expands his family to include all who believe and obey him. In Jesus death, we see him creating a new family at the cross. No longer is family simply defined by our own definitions, but it is defined by Christ. As we look to the cross, we are welcomed into his family. And as part of his family, we are cared for by him and called to care for one another.

John 19:23-27
