Mark 3:31-35: Who Is, Here Is
This essay reads Mark 3:31–35 as a decisive reconfiguration of belonging. Kinship is no longer anchored in blood, tradition, or continuity, but in presence and action—who is here, and what is done. Time is no longer something one inherits; it is something one inhabits. Ethical identity emerges not from origin, but from participation in a living moment.
Paul in Athens
Mercy without Recognition
