"Then Jesus went home. Again such a large crowd gathered that Jesus and his disciples had no time to eat. When his family heard about it, they set out to take charge of him, because people were saying, “He's gone mad!” (Mark 3: 20 - 21 GNT).
Has anybody ever accused you of being crazy or a religious fanatic?
Jesus Christ our Lord Himself was considered "out of his mind?" (Mark 3: 21). By His relatives and friends. Jesus warned all His followers not to expect decent treatment from the world. Those who are committed to follow Him should expect anything and everything from the world.
Throughout the centuries, the lives of many saints have vindicated the prophecy of Jesus viz: the Apostles, St John of the Cross, St Joan of Arc to name but a few.
Are you prepared to pay the price of discipleship? Jesus was prepared to pay any price for our salvation.
