Mark 3:21 (NKJV):"But when His own people heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said,'He is out of His mind.'"

Have you ever wondered what it must have been like for Jesus' family to witness the Son of God growing up before their very eyes? Mark 3:21 reveals both the tension and ignorance that existed within the family with regards to who they saw Jesus to be. To many of our unsaved family and friends, having faith is crazy. Claiming to believe in what is unseen seems ridiculous. Turning our back on the world and doing the will of our Heavenly Father looks like foolishness to them. Jesus had a radical message that called for radical obedience, and radical results! Although His ministry lasted only 3 1/2 years, its impact still touches and transforms millions of lives all around the world today. So take comfort in knowing that even though the world may reject you, you are accepted and loved by Him. As you stand fully persuaded, not wavering in unbelief regarding His promise - you will run the race of life with endurance and keep the faith, being obedient all the way to the end.
