Remember we read last week, in the passage just prior to this, that we will be blessed by being identified with Jesus. Rejoice, Jesus said, for surely your reward is great in heaven. And better yet, not just will our reward here on earth and in heaven to come be great, but when we follow Jesus teachings, we will be children of the Most High God. Children of the Most High God. They ll know that God is our parent and that Jesus is our brother, because of the family resemblance.
Family resemblance brings comments.
They will comment on it. And then, my friends, we need to be ready to answer. Because we are followers of Jesus. Because, as children of the Most High God, we want to be like our parent and like our brother Jesus. And they may look at us and start to laugh uncontrollably.
