Matthew 10:34-38 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his 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 is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.” NASB
Jesus came to set the record straight. He came to give us all what we need to serve Him more and more. He did not come to make sure we had friends and family that went against His word. Jesus came to give us the truth and sometimes the truth sets us apart, separates us from our family and friends. Jesus understood this, because He went through it Himself; but He persevered. He spoke the truth to everyone He met and everyone He knew, knowing that it would not win Him the popularity contest. But He did and said what His Heavenly Father commanded of Him, for our good, growth and maturity. God wants us to take His word, use it, live it, breathe it and honor it. He intends for His children to speak His truth, in love, no matter how it might affect even those who are dear to us. Make sure your foundation is the word of God, and not some doctrine that you have made up to satisfy your own desires and wants. God is expecting us to live a life of truth, no matter who it might offend. Be Blessed.
