Jesus was born into a family, but it was not the family of Joseph and Mary only that He came for. He was with them, worked for them, but that was not the real business of His life. He lived for and loved the family of His Father – the whole human race.
Christ gave up his earthly family and made everybody in earth His family. So, He called Himself the Son of Man, but others called Him the Son of Mary.
IN THAT CASE our true family is with Him. It is our relationship to Christ that really matters.
Marriage is a picture of it, for a man and woman marry and they have new family connections, in-laws, and especially with one another.
“For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh”.
When we commit our lives to Christ He commits Himself to us.
God bless you today.
