Matt.12:47 One said to him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you." 12:48 But he answered him who spoke to him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" 12:49 He stretched out his hand towards his disciples, and said, "Behold, my mother and my brothers! 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother."

There just is, and than there is the way it should be! Many become offend when truth standards are stated, why? Because they personally internalize everything in life when it comes to their emotions. Sadly, with that human flaw one cannot understand even the simplest truths because their feelings making them the center of gravity on earth where the universes revolve around them and their emotions!

Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? 17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

Truth is not an idea that sound good, it is rather a pillar of support of the creation itself when removed for feelings destroys the very existence of the one thinking their feelings are more important than truth of God. Thankfully, mankind cannot remove these truths, or we simply would not exist; thankfully when looking at the flawed history of mankind. Christ makes a truths statement here that each person professing to be a Christian's, which means according to truth “In Christ” a member of his spirit body, not physical one, which is, spiritual brother, and sisters are greater than those of our flesh.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

This should not offend anyone, when a real Christian's knows no brother or sister by the flesh any longer once in Christ, not even the Christ himself by flesh but Spirit. The flesh is of no value in Christ. Subsequently, the logic should follow that the Spirit is great than flesh and blood? The theme of the entire new testament. But here is where decrement comes in, what is the nature of our fallen flesh? It is not too hard to figure out? Which is, the flesh makes all things spiritual into flesh, and blood, failing to understand what is born of flesh is flesh, and what is born of Spirit is Spirit! In other words, lets not be confused here, what is flesh simply acts like flesh, and thinks like flesh, and what is spirit acts like spirit and thinks like spirit.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.

But the flesh doesn't believe so, it thinks it can know what the Spirit says, but it can't, and those of the Spirit knows what the flesh can't know and are not at all surprised the fleshes blindness and deathness mind under sin. We know in the flesh its connection to family it is the strongest of all fleshly connection, but in Christ, as a Christian's it is the Spirit connection that counts, why? Because those born again are a new creation as brothers and sisters in Christ all coming from the same Father YHWH ( The Spirit), so the new birth is of greater importance than the fleshly one coming from the sins of Adam which ends in death. Where as, the new birth, births one into eternal life in Christ without sin.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!

John 4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

2 Corinthians 3:8 won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
