Mark 3:20-21

The world may never understand your passion for God.  Love Him with all you have anyway!

Opposition to Jesus came not only from His enemies. Jesus’ own people, no doubt close friends and perhaps even relatives, heard of His teaching and assumed that He was out of His mind.

Mark 3:20-21

²⁰ Then the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. But when His own people heard about this, they went out to ²¹ lay hold of Him, for they said, “He is out of His mind.”

⁸ I have become a stranger to my brothers, And an alien to my mother’s children; 

Psalm 69:8

³ Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him. 

Mark 6:3

²⁰ And many of them said, “He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?” 

John 10:20

²⁴ Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!” 

Acts 26:24

¹³ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 

2 Corinthians 5:13
