Mark 3:31-35 “A Common Bond”

Jesus shocks his listeners once again by going against the tide of
cultural identity and understanding. He introduces a deeper reality
and Common Bond based on Kingdom priorities and an eternal
perspective. There is a family based on blood and physical origin, but
there is another, deeper bond that is created by pursuing God’s vision
for humanity together. Blood is thicker than water, and Jesus’ blood
is the thickest of them all.
