The Church is a Family
Matt. 12:46-50
It's no secret that some churches are characterized by division and in-fighting. This is a tragic situation because it totally misrepresents the one of the purposes for which the church exists. One of the Lord's purposes for His church is to be the means that the gospel, the message of reconciliation and redemption is to be delivered to a world that is both separated from God and from each other.
The Family in Scripture
When you think about the Scriptures the family plays a significant role. The Bible opens with God creating a family - Adam and Eve who soon produce children and the family grows. Sin entered the picture and marred the family and divided the first family - culminating with one brother killing the other. It was to this family that the promise of redemption and reconciliation was given. Even though sin characterized the first family God did not give up on them.
