Matthew 12:46-50 NKJV
[46] While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. [47] Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” [48] But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” [49] And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! [50] For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
The business of the Father will always be a priority, even above earthly relations. If you are committed to doing the will of the Father everything else can wait. In this instance, Jesus never hesitates to show that according to him family is not only by blood, but also and mainly by divine assignment.
This shows that doing the will of the Father is necessary, especially to distinguish people who are sold out to God, from those who are just familiar with God.
