Matthew 10:34–39, 11:1
Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” Now when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and proclaim his message in their cities.
Reflection
• What kind of peace that I have experienced from Jesus?
• Lord, help me to see the freedom that you want to give me.
