Interesting point. I suspect Jesus Christ did appear alien to His mother’s children. When He appointed John to take Mary as his mother and Mary to receive John as her son, I suspect He also was considering how an unbelieving body might treat her after He passed.
If the Israelite crowds insisted on beating and crucifying Jesus based upon their interpretation of the Torah, imagine how they would treat the “Mother of God”.
I actually just learned about the messianic psalms and that’s why that scripture was fresh in my mind.
That’s very true about what they would do to his mom and family. That may be a reason why Jesus seemed to not care for them, to protect them.
The more I learn the more I realize how little I know. The Bible is so amazing with deep wells and mysteries that God has not revealed yet. My faith grows stronger every day when I am studying the Word.
Shalom to all, we are all in belief who Jesus is and that is what is important, even if we argue about mostly meaningless stuff.
If there had been brothers and sisters, the Christ would have given his Mother to them.
There weren’t.
So he gave her to John the Apostle and to us.
