Matthew 10:34-39
1. How did Matthew phrase Jesus' words about 'hate'?
He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
The word hate is to be phrased as when one must put Christ first and hate to let other things take priority. It does not mean hate our family but hate the overtaking of God's priority.
Luke 9:57-62
2. How did Jesus explain the cost of following Him?
Jesus said, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
To follow God, we must give our all, and not be half-hearted.
