Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth, but a sword

 Matthew 10:34-42

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 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— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.

Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. 

Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.

Why?

The value of faith in Jesus is different from the world, so when anyone comes to Jesus Christ may cause the defense among his family. Because the family will be a war when anyone likes to away from the world.

To be a Chrisitan have loved Jesus Christ more than his family. For to be a Christian needs to bear his own cross to follow Jesus.

Even God's blessing with us, but we know we have to suffer much distress and burden for the name of Jesus Christ. We are not doing the matter of love but also be a messenger of the gospel.

Why?設立12門徒後。說這些話。想要成為主 門徒,看重關係還是真理? 如果與人的關係和真理衝突,與人的關係和與神的關係衝突。與家人的關係最難割捨。這些改變在公司中還不會發生衝突,但是在家庭中,所走的路受父母影響大,如祖宗牌位等,結婚後受配偶的信仰影響。

人的仇敵是家人,因為最會影響我們最大的攔阻就是家人。信耶穌最大的助力也是家人,如果周圍的人反對,家人完全的支持。

聖經的方法是先愛神再愛家人。如果說沒信主的人也愛家人,但是那是從神來的愛,按自己的喜好來愛。愛神後的愛家人,是真誠的愛。懂得愛神,才知道如何愛家人。

How?

Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
