Notes

Matthew 12:48–50

Those who are true members in the family of Jesus obey the will of God. They show this obedience by obeying the commands of Jesus (see Matthew 7:21). Obedience does not earn entrance into this family, but a person cannot be a member of this family if they do not obey him (see 3:15; 5:17–48; 6:10, 12; 7:13–27; 21:31).
