Blood Is Thicker Than Water

Family is more important than friends my mother used to say,
What’s family though?
What’s blood though?
Family: to protect, nurture, guide and love.
What if you have water like this and blood the complete opposite?
What then?
But what is blood?
Who’s blood?
Where is this blood?
The irony of being born again,
And having bloodshed, being a new man, taking right hand of fellowship into a new family,
Does that mean I’m part of a new family?
Yes!
The blood that was shed on Calvary should run through your veins,
You have been born through your natural mother through natural birth,
Through the spiritual re-birth,
You have buried the old man,
Now you’re in Christ, old things have passed away,
Behold! All things have become new!
The blood that was shed now runs through your veins!
Your blood has now become thicker than blood and water,
A new family in Christ, all one in the body of Christ.
The point is your new family should take priority, precedence over your natural family,
You are now responsible for the upliftment and nurturing of your brothers, aunts and cousins in Christ,
As they are too,
Remember the blood, His blood, that seals the covenant God made with His people,
The sacred and holy blood of the ultimate sacrifice now runs through your veins
His blood is thicker than blood and water.
