Lesson 4083

 (Lesson 4083)(03-27-23) Matthew 10:34-40

    “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.”

    In today’s quote, Jesus made it clear that He did not come to make life easier for those who reject Him, but rather, He came to give all sinners a way out. 

    We are to accept Jesus as our redeemer even if it costs us our friends and family. That is because, within our spiritual being, we are to allow NOTHING to come between us and Jesus our blessed redeemer.

    We are to carry the light of Jesus with us in every aspect of our lives so that those around us can see the eternal benefits of God’s amazing, saving grace through faith in Jesus Christ~
