Reflecting on the beautiful response of our Lord to the disciples' questions, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" And pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother" (v.48-50).
With regards to our heavenly kinship, our Lord is very clear
that we are all brothers and sisters-in-Christ, if we humbly and faithfully do
the will of our Father in Heaven, which is to proclaim the gospel of Christ as
the only Way to the Father. Jesus, our Forerunner has already gone ahead to
prepare a place for all of us in our Father's Mansion, as the Apostle whom
Jesus loves had written down these following words of encouragement from our
LORD. One chapter after the Last Supper discourse, timeless promises that are
also applicable for all of us in the 21st century church, in John 14:2, “In my Father's house there are
many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to
prepare a place for you.”
I will close with this beautiful worship song about resting
in our Father's Love (with Eternity written on our hearts).
