Jesus Teaches the True Kinship, 8:19-21

Jesus teaches there is a closer tie than the family, the tie that binds him and his followers together.

1. Jesus’ family sought him (v.19)

2. True kinship is not based upon relationships (v.20)

3. True kinship is based upon the Word of God: Hearing and doing it

Thought: True kinship is not based upon human relationships but those who do the Will of God obeying and listening to the Word of God.
