Matthew 10:34—11:1:
Jesus’ sayings seem harsh but in fact need to be. The demands of discipleship are radical. Jesus tells his disciples that the conflict they face may very well include conflict with family. No relationship, even that of blood relatives outweighs the disciple’s relationship with Jesus and his mission.
My family and friends are gifts you have given me, but you are the source deserving of my love.
