Third Sunday after Pentecost, Lectionary Year B
Mark 3:20-35
In today's Gospel lesson, Jesus' own family sides with the religious authorities in believing Jesus to be out of his mind. What does it mean to be a family? What holds a family together? This question is particularly relevant to our congregation right now, between this weekend's celebration at Kalamazoo Pride and this week's news that I will be leaving Lutheran Church of the Savior this summer. It's a good thing for us that Jesus has something grace-filled to say about family.
