Family can be the best, worst, and most complex part of life.
Good families want what is best for each other
1. Jesus had family issues
His family thought he was "out of his mind"— Mark 3:21 (NIV)
He made sure his Mother was cared for — John 19:26-27 (NIV)
Jesus knew tension could exist between family & following him
2 Honoring our families
Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:1-3
3. Nothing, not even family, can come before Jesus
Luke 14:25-27, Luke 9:57-62, Luke 9:59-62
