my brothers and sisters

Matthew 12:46-50 (New International Version)

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

⁴⁶While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. ⁴⁷Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you."^a]">[a]

⁴⁸He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" ⁴⁹Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. ⁵⁰For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

Debby had this passage in her sermon today and i think it means alot. like even though its pretty disrespectful if someone says that today it really means that Jesus considers us His brothers and sisters. Jesus says that his disciples are His brothers and sisters meaning that we should treat everyone in church as our brothers and sisters. how great would do u feel when u hear Jesus say that we are his brothers and sisters.

another passage that Debby had was about forgiveness and one friend is having that problem right now and i really want him to understand. don't have someone panic for you if you dont want that to happen to you when u get older. would you want your child to do that you, just to get you worried and panic. even though they kicked you out, you should do things like that to get them worried.

Matthew 18:23-35 (New International Version)

²³"Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. ²⁴As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents^a]">[a] was brought to him. ²⁵Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

²⁶"The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' ²⁷The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

²⁸"But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii.^b]">[b] He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded.

²⁹"His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'

³⁰"But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. ³¹When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

³²"Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. ³³Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' ³⁴In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

³⁵"This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."

you wouldn't want God to treat you like that so you shouldn't do that to your parents either. forgiveness is hard but God forgives us of everything wrong that we do so we should do the same also.
