Mk 3:20-21 Jesus came with his disciples into the house. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
The ministry of Jesus means that he will give up his own life. His relatives can see that he can not even eat anymore because the crowds press in and are surrounding him with their needs and pleas for healing and help. Jesus' relatives say that he is out of his mind because they see that he is putting the lives of others before himself and they want to save his life. It seems to defy logic to put others before ourselves. It is for me the way of Christ that leads to eternal life.
