Cyclist, I believe that Jesus is trying to make a point in the passage you asked about. Further down in the chapter, Luke 14:33, He states, "So, likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple". Christ emphasize that He is to be preeminent in our lives. Moreso than ANYTHING else. The word "hate" he used in v.26 is from a Greek word that literally means "to love less". Its obvious that we are not to "hate" other people in our lives. This is contrary to everything we are taught as Christians, (especially our parents!). Jesus was emphasizing that it is his desire that we place Him first in our lives. Do you remember the story Jesus told in Luke 18:18-24? When the rich man came to Jesus and asked Him, "..what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus told him to sell all that he had and give to the poor? The rich man walked away from Him very sad..Make Jesus the centerpiece, the focus, the anchor, the Lord, and Saviour, of your life. Scripture tells us that ye "were bought with a price", (1 Cor. 6:20). Jesus paid a high price to save you! He is not asking you to "hate" anyone. Just love Him more than anything else in your life! I hope this helps..Holler if I can clarify...God Bless...believer57 | ||||||
