Episode What Makes You Part of God's Family? | The Gospels | Matthew 12:38–50
Can you be "close" to Jesus and still miss him? Why was Jesus so confrontational with religious leaders but so welcoming to outsiders? And what actually makes someone part of God's family? In today's episode, Keith explores Matthew 12:38–50 and shows us why proximity to Jesus isn't the same as belonging to him, and why God's family is made up of those who trust him rather than those who try to earn their place.
