19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they couldn’t get to him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, and they want to see you.”
21 Jesus replied, “My mother and my brothers are all those who hear God’s word and obey it.”
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. 23 As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. 25 Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”
The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!”

OBSERVATION
Jesus was not being mean, I'm sure He loved His mother but the meaning of Him being here superceded that. He also wanted us to see that there is also an even more intimate type of family which will carry us even more spiritually - our Christian brothers and sisters.
Jesus simply wanted us to know that at any point in time when we are caught in this life's storms (life situations that can keep us on our knees) He is always here to call on Him and He will calm the storm in our life. Anything that any of us are facing, God can work it out. We must have faith, show patience and allow HIM not us to take care of it. Leave it on the altar and in His hands.0
