Today's Reading - February 19, 2010

LEVITICUS 7:28-9:6
MARK 3:31-4:25
PSALM 37:12-29
PROVERBS 10:5

Question of the day: Was Jesus turning his back on his mother and brothers by claiming that his followers were his mother and brothers?

Jesus was laying down the thought that those who call him Lord are bound by something stronger then blood. "Brothers and sisters in Christ" brought people closer together than actual family ties. This is shown most vividly in the twelve that Jesus brought together as his disciples. Matthew the tax collector and Simon the Zealot would have hated each other, but were brought together in their love of Jesus.
