Call on His Name

It is reported that some of George Floyd’s last words were to call out for his mama. From a mother’s perspective it pulls at my heartstrings. However, from the spiritual perspective my heart would have been more comforted had he called out for Jesus. When Jesus was informed that his mother and brothers were standing outside wanting to see him, he said, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother” (Mark 3:33-34 NIV).
