Bringing Your Family to Jesus

“For even His brothers did not believe Him.” John 7:5

Has all your family trusted Christ as Savior? Does it hurt you to have them reject Him? Take heart. Jesus’ brothers did not believe Him. They lived with Him. They played with Him. They went to school with Him. They heard Him preach and saw His miracles. They didn’t believe Him. Not yet, anyway.

There are two books in the New Testament to show us that things changed. James and Jude are two of Jesus’ brothers. They are two who didn’t believe Him and then they did. How did this happen? I Corinthians 15:7 says simply, “After that He was seen by James.” After His resurrection, Jesus sought out His brothers to tell them one more time that He was truly the Son of God. On that last visit they believed in Him. Jesus just kept loving His family and sharing the Good News of who He was. At last they believed Him. Take heart; Jesus knows how much you love your family. He loved His, too. He cares for your family as much as He cared for His. Let your family see Jesus in you; let them hear Jesus from you. Let Jesus change their hearts.

Dear Father, I thank You that You understand all my feelings including my love for lost relatives. Father, I place them into Your hands. Amen.
