“Who are my mother and my brothers and my sisters? Anyone who does the will of God.”
Not just talks about it, but who lives it. That person is my brother and sister and mother. Jesus doesn’t say “father” because he only has one Father. So what we see here is in the working out of his life, the problems and the mission, that he had and the obedience to that mission. We see him Rising even though he’s more and more isolated and eventually is totally isolated and abandoned. We see him expanding in this Universal Consciousness of the human family and of his love for that family.
