When Jesus was informed that his mother, brothers and sisters needed his attention, he replied by looking around at those seated in the circle and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mk.3:31-35) His response demonstrates that the condition for the Kingdom of God is doing God’s will rather than attachment to family and/or inner-circles. The word ‘whoever’ belongs to the category of indefinite relative pronouns. It has no antecedent in terms of identity (family, friends, partners) but is only determined by a condition that is set before it (doing God’s will). This is an important lesson for us all, because sometimes the eternal values of the Kingdom of God are lost when we focus so much on paying absolute loyalty to transitory familial identities (2Cor.4:18). Vices that break the bigger vocation to love, such as nepotism, corruption, ethnicism, racism, bigotry, etc. are all rooted in this narrow attachment. That explains why things fell apart once Adam and Eve lost sight of the grand vision of God and chose to rather reward familial favours: Eve to her new friend, the serpent, and Adam to Eve (Gen.3:9-15).
