Jesus' family extends beyond blood: Todd
Continued from page 21
from. Yes he was different, radically
different and he was proposing a
way of life that was not in keeping
with societal norms. When Jesus is
told his mother and brothers are
calling him, he responds, "who are
my mother and my brothers?"
Instead he calls the crowd around
him — the "riffraff' of society that
followed him — his family. Was Jesus
denouncing his connection or
divorcing to his family? I don't think
Jesus was denying his blood
relationship to his family. Recall,
when he was hanging on the cross he
actually gave the care of his mother
to the disciple John. This statement
is another example of hyperbole,
Jesus talking in extremes to make a
point. I think it was more like Jesus
extending the definition of family,
being more inclusive, rather than
exclusive. He wasn't divorcing his
family; he was denouncing the
forces of opposition that he also saw
in them.
So who then is Jesus' family?
Mark tells us, verse 35 "whoever
does the will of God". Now, that's a
broad definition. For Jesus, family
are all those who believe in God and
A busy night

do God's will — so essentially
anyone can be part of Jesus' family,
and follow the ways of Jesus. And
those who follow in Jesus ways —
well, they're one of Jesus' disciples.
Disciple — it's one of those old-
fashioned kind of words, isn't it?
And one that's seldom used outside
of a church context. Do you think
that everyone who was a follower of
Jesus, one of Jesus' disciples, even
in his day, had it all figured out what
it meant to be a Christian? No, they
had their disagreements and
misunderstandings — that's why Paul
wrote all those letters to the
churches in those early years to
clarify and help the early followers
understand just what being a disciple
meant. That's what's been
happening in the 2,000 or so years
since Jesus' life as well, people
studying the scriptures, writing
books, teaching and taking courses —
all learning how, trying to define
ways how to be true disciples,
dedicated followers of Christ. So to
be a disciple of Christ might be
better described as being like an
apprentice of Christ.
So let's take this to the next step,
to be an apprentice is to be in a state
of learning, to learn about a
particular way of doing something
from a master, from someone else
who knows more about it than you
do, and then doing, applying what
you've learned. That's what Jesus
was doing with his followers, wasn't
it? He was the Master, the teacher,
teaching his disciples, his
apprentices how to follow in his
footsteps, to live the ways of God.
Not only did he teach them, he
showed them how, and he didn't win
any popularity contests by doing it!
Discipleship is the second of the
five marks of mission of the
Anglican Church — to teach, baptize
and nurture new believers. I'd like to
suggest that discipleship is a life-
long journey, it's not just for new
believers, but for all of us, because
we have yet to reach the level of our
Master! So my challenge to you, is a
challenge to myself as well, what
can you do to be a committed
apprentice, disciple of Jesus? How
do you seriously take on the role of
learning more, of developing further
in your role as a disciple of Christ?
Let me end in a prayer: Lord open
our eyes to see you, our ears to hear
you, our hearts to know you and our
minds to understand you. Amen.
