WE ARE ALL PART OF GOD'S FAMILY

WE ARE ALL PART OF
GOD'S FAMILY


We are ALL a part
Of GOD'S FAMILY=at least
We are all
INVITED to be


By God and by JESUS


“When Jesus was SPEAKING
To the crowds........
Someone told him
'Your mother and your brothers
Are standing outside=ASKING
To speak with you'”


“But he said
In reply........='WHO is my mother?
Who are my brothers?........


'WHOEVER does the will
Of my HEAVENLY FATHER
Is my brother=and sister=
And mother'” Matthew 12:46-48, 50


I don't think Jesus
Is excluding his mother
Or his FAMILY here


I think he is OFFERING
An INVITATION to us all
To be a part
OF HIS FAMILY


IF we keep his commands=and=
LIVE up to his WORDS


We are all PART
Of GOD'S FAMILY


“So go to
The street corners
And INVITE


To the banquet
ANYONE you can find” Matthew 22:9


“When did we see you=
A stranger and INVITE you in
Or needing clothes
And clothe you?


When did we see you
Sick or in prison
And go to visit you?


The KING will reply
'TRULY I tell you
Whatever you did
For ONE of the least


Of these BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Of mine
You did for me'” Matthew 25:38-40


ACCEPT the invitation
Of God and Jesus=and BE
A part of their FAMILY


Mary=MORE than anyone=
Knew=and did
The FATHER'S WILL


The EXTENSION=by our Jesus
Of HIS FAMILY=is an outpouring
Of his LOVE for us all


GOD the Father's WILL
Is that we love God


That we love ourselves
And that we LOVE ONE ANOTHER


God's will=JESUS' will is that
WE are all an extension
Of his family=IN LOVE


“He and all his family
Were devout and God-fearing


He gave GENEROUSLY
To those in need=and=
PRAYED to God regularly”
(About Cornelius) Acts 10:2


Dear Lord=dear Jesus=HELP us all
To hear your invitation
To be A PART
OF YOUR FAMILY


And help us to KNOW
That we are LOVED BY YOU
And to love you and OTHER FOLLOWERS
LIKE FAMILY


In your name LORD JESUS=and that of your=OUR DIVINE FATHER
