“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”
Matthew 10:37 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 10:37
Jesus' statement 'He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me' demands supreme loyalty. Family ties, humanity's strongest natural bonds, must not rival devotion to Christ. This isn't commanding hatred of family but prioritizing Christ above all relationships. The phrase 'not worthy' means unfit or unqualified for discipleship. Following Jesus requires Him to be Lord of every relationship, even the most precious.
