The Sword of Jesus Christ | Matthew 10:34-38 | Jesus' Instruction | Outline | Conversation
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword! For I have come to 'set a man against his father, 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.'
Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me" (Matthew 10:34-38).
