Verse of the Day October 2

This week we continue our series “Reimagining the Church.” Each week, we’ll explore a different New Testament image or metaphor for being disciples of Christ and the church and the focus this week is from the Gospel of Matthew. For Matthew, doing the will of God is what distinguishes a true disciple of Jesus including doing justice for the poor and those who are vulnerable.

Today’s reading is Matthew 12:46-50, The Family of God.

The Verse of the Day is Matthew 12:50,

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.
