In 12:46-50, Jesus identifies his true family. What have been the rewards for you of being part of Jesus’ family?

There are two different yet coexisting categories of rewards that are attainable for those who by the Spirits power and God’s Grace are called. The first and most important is the vertical relationship we have with God the Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Here the rewards are myriad and over flow into all aspects of the believer’s life. A relationship with the Father through Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, Faith, Growing in Godly Wisdom, Maturing the Faith, are just a few of the many rewards believers can experience. These rewards however are not limited to the vertical but overflow into the horizontal level where we relate to others. Here again there are many rewards awaiting the believer who by God’s Grace puts their vertical relationship with God into practice on the horizontal level. Friendships, encouragement, service, praying, sharing the Faith, are but a small example that awaits those who put their Godly convictions into action.
