Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me
Matthew 10
34"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn " 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - 36a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'[e]
37"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. 42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
Notes:
I have read this over and over again, quoting whoever shale lose his life for my sake will find it. But I have found something new to think about. 34 Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I am pretty sure that I have seen all of this stuff happed while serving at Church. And in my own life, with other family members that are Christians but the Church itself is more important to them the relationship with Jesus the Christ. They follow blindly hiding there eyes to what the Bible says is wrong because there Church accepts it. To quote my Pastor “right now you can call me a Baptist, but the second being a Baptist takes me away from the truth of the Bible and way from a relationship with Christ then I will be something else because following Jesus and the truth are more important that any Church.
