Matthew 12;46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

By the way Dave even though I believe Jesus was refering to his spiritual family at the cross. The above scriptures is Jesus comparing his physical family to his spiritual family. Please address this.

Pretty much what allend said. Family ties are nothing if they hold you back from God. It's almost like He could have said "call no one on earth your family member, for there is only one family in Heaven"
