Matt 10:34-36, Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
One of the harsh realities of being a true follower of Jesus Christ is the rejection of others due to your new found Faith. When the Lord Jesus Christ came into this world, it was’nt to give everyone security to continue living their lives as they wanted, but to let all know that their is a desperate need for a Savior. The Law and Religion of that time and even now, is not sufficient enough to redeem man from the sin nature bestowed upon Us by the acts of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This revelation of letting everyone know that all are sinners and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) will indeed cause many to reject you, as no one likes the idea that they are wrong in any type of way or lifestyle that they are living. Never the less, the standard of serving a Holy God is in fact living Holy and no other way as stated in Hebrews 12:14, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” The Pharsees in the days of Jesus believed in only following the Law of Moses was enough to satisfy God, but were only good in preaching and not at all capable of living by the Law themselves. Matt 23:27-28 reads, “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. The Gospel displays that one and only one is justified in the eyes of God and that is Jesus Christ, the perfect offering for the sins of the World. Hebrews 7:26-28 reads, “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. Jesus came so that all of Humanity can be baptized into His perfect nature (Galatians 3:27) which places all in the right standing with God instead of a Law in which no man can keep, other than Christ Himself. I urge all to Preach the good news that all will here no matter the rejection, upon hearing the truth many may not like it but will ultimately repent and be made right with God, as in 2 Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Shalom.
