Word of Life Study Series

Welcome to the Gospel Series- The Discourses of Jesus: www.wordinspire.org
Discourse: “Disowning the Lord”
Reference: Matthew 10:32-42; Luke 12:8-12, 49-53
Theme: Remaining Faithful to the Lord, without Yielding to the Fear of Man- Especially from Family
Context: His Disciples are sent two-by-two Ahead of Him and Prepared to meet Persecution
Matthew 10:32-42
“Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.”
