Even His Brothers Did Not Believe
The unbelief of Jesus' brothers serves as a warning of how easily on can be blinded by such things as familiarity,
envy, and perconceptions. And how carefully we must give others a fair hearing.
The unbelief of Jesus' brothers also serves as a blessing for their eventual conversion implies overwelming evidence
of Jesus' resurrection. And since we believe in Jesus through the words of such men, the foundation of our faith is
stronger.
With the help of their example, we can heed the exhortation given by one of Jesus' brothers; 20 "But you, beloved,
building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. (Jude 20-21)
