THE HARDEST GROUP TO WIN OVER

THE HARDEST GROUP TO WIN OVER- In John 7:5 is says:  "For neither did his brethren believe in him."  Jesus was the Son of God, and yet his own brothers did not believe in him.  Jesus said also in:  Mark 6:4  "But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."  Notice this verse: Matthew 13:55 "Is not this the carpenter's son?  is not his mother called Mary?  and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?"  Jesus had four brothers and the next verse says:  Mat 13:56  "And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?"  Jesus had several sisters as well.  Yet, "neither did his brethren believe in him."  The hardest group to win over is always your family and those closest to you.  And yet... Jesus did win them over!  One of his brothers wrote the book of James and was a leader in the Church.  The pastor of the Church in Jerusalem!  Then one of his brothers wrote the book of Jude warning about false doctrine.  He did win them over!  And with God's help and patience, you can too!
