Family Pride

Family members are the first ones to question your sanity and the last ones to let the issue rest.

Even Jesus' family thought He was crazy.

Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples were not even able to eat.  When His family heard about this, they went to take charge of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind."  -Mark 3:20-21

His family was not impressed with this new hobby He'd started of preaching and healing.

Oh no.  First He's out picking fights with the church leaders, and now mobs of people are following Him around to see what trick He's going to do next.  Now they've got Him trapped in some stranger's house.  C'mon, Mary, we'd better go get your son and bring Him home before they lock Him up in the looney bin.  Maybe He's got a chemical imbalance and the doc has some pills He can take.

So off goes the family of Jesus, tracking down this random home with people spilling out the front door so they can rush Him to safety before He destroys the family name.

They can't get inside, so they sent someone to push his way through the people to get to Jesus and let Him know they're waiting outside.

"Hey, Jesus!  Your mom and brothers are looking for you.  They want to see you outside."

As if to confirm His family's suspicions, Jesus promptly says,

"Who are my mom and brothers?"

Thankfully, by the grace of God, Jesus' family did not remain skeptics.
