Matthew 10:34-39 “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.
For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
A man’s foes will be those of his own household.
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.
He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me, isn’t worthy of me.
He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it."
Consider this:
Following Jesus has a price tag. Tension on earth now and guaranteed bliss in heaven!
Following Jesus can cause division in families. Family members who do not understand your decision to follow Jesus could consider you odd. Though you are not!
Following Jesus could cause members of your family to become your foe.
Following Jesus means taking up the cross of discipleship, the cross of self-denial, and possible affliction.
Following Jesus means you will find the true meaning for your life.
Is it worth it? Yes! Jesus said in Matthew 19:29, "Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life."
