Hello,
I wanted to also comment on the discussion we had Monday night regarding, Luke8:19-21, Jesus and His Family. Jesus is fully human and fully divine, 2 natures in 1 being.
You know, it reminds me of the Finding in the Temple. The parents looking for their child for a few days, come to find Him in His Father's house, preaching and teaching. When found, Jesus as a boy, was obedient to his parents from then on.
In this scene, Jesus is a grown man, in full swing of his preaching and teaching the people the love of God, while crowds surrounded him. Mom and brothers come to find him, while Jesus is doing the will of His Holy Father.
I humbly feel that maybe why Jesus had to make a distinction to the people was to point out the UNIVERSAL meaning of "Mother" and "Brother" or "Family" ALL in the One Body of Christ.
Versus the "one body" of Christ as a son or a brother, CONDITIONALLY here on earth. Yes, Jesus has two natures, but Jesus used both natures in such perfect and mysterious ways to teach us, by a living and dying and resurrected example, of the infinite depths of UNCONDITIONAL love, which only comes from our Lord our God.
In Jesus making this distinction, I feel that His divinity, His universaltality, takes precedence, this is why such the answer from Christ. At first, to me it is harsh, but really when we reflect on it a little more, Jesus' whole purpose was to save souls and bring us all home. As stated in (Luke 4:43) "To the other town also, I must proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God, FOR THIS PURPOSE I WAS SENT." For the salvation and redemption of souls and the forgiveness of all our sins and its consequences, so we may have ETERNAL LIFE. To me, this means all of the families become all one.
What do you guys think?
God Bless,
Tyree
This I feel is why that His death on the cross is the perfect act of love. Using his humanity, his person as the way, the truth and the light to teach us all about our Holy Family and the love we have in them, through Him, Christ Jesus.
Human Family: Jesus, Mary, Joseph, All Past ancestory/lifetimes/generations from the line of David, and of the ancestory that is to come.
Divine Family: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Angels and Saints, Mother Nature/Cosmos, The universality of all existance, for all of time.
