Matthew 12:47-50
47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
If we follow Jesus Christ, we are His family. Even Jesus pointed out that relationship was more important than that of blood. So when natural family turns against us because of Christ, we should rejoice in knowing that we do what He says and follow Him as His children, loved first and forever. His blood that bought us is stronger than the water we were born in. In this way, blood is "thicker than water."
