Luke 8:19 – 21
The
mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him
but were unable to join him because of the crowd.
He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside
and they wish to see you.”
He said to them in reply, “My mother and my brothers
are those who hear the word of God and act on it.”

Reflection
HOME!
Our 2013-2014 ICS
school theme was “Home.”
Jesus emphasizes
the power of our “Home” theme by referring to us as his “brothers” and
“sisters.” His words tell us that we can have a relationship with him just as
strong as the one we share with our mother, father, brothers, and sisters.
He is seeking this
relationship with each one of us! In fact, he yearns for this type of
relationship with us! He prayed for this type of relationship with us on earth
and continues to pray for this type of relationship with us in Heaven. God wants
us to be a part of his family! He is
inviting us to live in his “Home” with him permanently.
All we are asked to
do to cultivate this relationship with God is to do his will. He wants us to
listen to his word with our ears and our heart, and respond to it in a kind,
loving, patient, truthful, and gentle way.
By doing this, we will be a brother and/or sister to God. A sibling of
his who not only serves the Lord, but one that lives in his “Home,” the Kingdom
of Heaven!
Always allow our
2013- 2014 school theme of “Home” to resonate with us and help it lead us into
the “Home” of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
