One of the most disconcerting realities of being a disciple of Jesus is the conflict it often generates with our own family.
Typically our family loves us more than anyone else. They are our blood relations and have known us all of our life. Yet Jesus is divisive. He always has been. You cannot sit on the fence with Christ. You are either for Him or against Him. You are either hot or cold. And, when you are for Jesus, you will inevitably invite opposition and criticism upon yourself, even if it is from your own family.
One might be able to endure critiques from colleagues and even friends. But often barbs from family hurt deeply. We might think that God would spare us such pain in response to our desire to serve Him. But Jesus understands misunderstanding. His own brothers thought Him an embarrassment at one stage of His life. But it did not deter Him. And, in time, His family embraced Him and His mission.
Don’t be surprised if you have family members who do not support your obedience to Christ.
