_"Raising excellent agents of change and transformation, well equipped with Truth and Wisdom."_
*UNDERSTANDING THE ACTS AND WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST (113)*
_"For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those in his own household"_ (Matthew 10:35-36).
It's hard to imagine a more terrible scenario than families turning on each other. To share a living space with one's worst enemy creates the worst kind of strife. It cannot go on. If it continues on a wide scale, the society will break down. What could possibly cause this kind of separation within Israel's families? Jesus says it is Him. His arrival, and the challenge of truth, will provoke exactly this kind of friction within and between the families of Israel. Those families will divide over the issue of whether Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God. Those who reject such belief as blasphemy will turn on those of their own household who acknowledge Jesus as the Lord.
Jesus is warning His disciples that this will happen within their own families and those of the people they preach the truth to. After all, Jesus' claim and proof to be the Messiah caused division in His own hometown (Matt 13:53-58), and with His immediate family members (Mark 3:21). He makes clear in the following verses that if it becomes a choice between family and faith in Him, His followers must choose Him or be found unworthy of Him. Those who are benefiting on earth from satan's reign will not only be resistant to Jesus, but also to His people. It is an absolute certainty that some will face this resistance to Jesus, but also to His people. We should be loving and forgiving, which are often qualities that are attractive to even hardest hearts, but we should also be able to stand for the truth in a culture that hates that truth. All men did not love Jesus, and they will not love us either.
