God Still Speaks

Sometimes following Christ means that family won't understand and accept your new vocation. Jesus' own brothers scoffed at him, ridiculed him, poked fun at him because of His desire to do the will of His father. Jesus didn't spend much time arguing with is family. Sometimes we have to let the ignorant remain ignorant. I'm sure that Jesus continued to love his family, but he wasn't going to allow family pressure and family opinion keep him from fulfilling his purpose in life. To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. We cannot allow family to keep us from obeying and doing the will of God.
