Mat 12:48 | MHM | STEP | v. 48 : Jesus responded to the interruption by asking, Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? He did not stop his work for his family, showing that serving God comes first. Jesus was not being disrespectful, but he wanted to teach that our duty to God is more important than anything else. Sometimes, even our loved ones can distract us from what God wants us to do. We must put God’s work first, even if it means saying no to family or friends (Luke 14:26 ).
