In the ancient world, family was the most basic and fundamental social organization. And in this passage Jesus seems to reject them in favor of caring for lepers, welcoming prostitutes, making his family the poor, the blind, bleeding women, even Gentiles.

Whoever does God’s will is my family.” We discuss the ways this difficult passage calls us and the church to welcome others into our family.
