Oh BROTHER! Siblings in the Bible

This morning we talked about sibling relationships, including some of the many stories found in the Bible.

We talk about “brothers” as meaning the principles of charity (love towards the neighbour), and I think that’s because it is those family relationships that often make us into better people. If we get angry with a friend, we can go our separate ways, but our family relationships force us to stick with those difficult and challenging relationships when we least want to, and there’s some benefit in that.
