It is difficult to know the meaning of a particular passage without first understanding the interrelated conditions that were present when the verse was spoken. In this case, by our Lord and blessed Savior. First may I suggest that you read the passage in Matthew 10 from vs 16, thru 42. In this case, the preceding verse should be much help. (v 35, above) What these verses relate to are the hardships and sufferings that followers of Christ must expect, as well as how to prepare for and deal with them. As Christ saw Himself moving ahead with His work, He was telling His disciples beforehand, that it will be far different than what they expect, so they would not be surprised, and lose hold of their faith. Verse 16 starts out with the attention-getter, as Jesus says, "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." Verse 22 tells them they will be hated, -when they might have expected to be honored, as subjects in the court of the King of kings. They are told that they would be imprisoned, as evildoers, and even put to death, vs 21. As His followers thought they would enjoy peace and prosperity, that comes with wealth and power, Christ said "No, I came not to bring peace, but a sword" That is, the sword of His Word. On earth it will not bring peace, but persecution. This will put men at odds with each other, even their own kin. The persecuting daughter will be against the believing mother and no familial affection will overcome this. (verse 36) In general, those who should be the closest to their heart will often be the ones who will be the most passionately contentious. |

Thank you so much,,,,,, And so right you are of taking a verse out of context. So many find that so easy to do. Guess it depends on what you want the word to say, not what GOD meant it to be. I trust the word, complete word of my Father. |
