Who Is Your Mother?

I missed my mother who is now living with my sister in West Covina, California. Occasionally we talked over the phone because he can not use a computer - a problem with some old folks. She laugh out loud when I told her, you really can't teach old dogs new tricks.

Speaking of fathers, mothers, brothers or sisters, who are they really? Jesus has the answer.

Matthew 12:46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.

Matthew 12:47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”

Matthew 12:48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?”

Matthew 12:49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

Who else are fathers and mothers?

Abraham, a father of many nations.

Genesis 17:5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.

Sarah, a mother of nations.

Genesis 17:15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

Genesis 17:16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.”

A woman, who is the mother of harlots.

Revelation 17:5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Eve, the mother of all living.

Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

1 timothy 5:6 But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

If you are living but dead, it's the woman who is your mother - a harlots full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.

Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”

And who is the father of those who lives in pleasure?

John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Pardon my asking - Who is your mother?
