—Matthew 10:28-42
by: Gem Barton.
A man’s enemies will be members of his own household. These words came from Jesus. What do these words mean to a person who wants to be converted? Does it mean Jesus is advocating domestic disputes? Far from it—He actually preaches love. The reality is, once you become a believer, it becomes possible to experience familial disagreement for the sake of the gospel. Jesus wants you to know that you should not be fearful of humans who can destroy only your body but rather be fearful of God who can destroy both body and soul.
