• Take a Cross and Follow with Greater Love than Love for Parents
• Take a Cross and Follow with Greater Love than Love for Children
• Take a Cross and Follow with Greater Love than Love for Personal Convenience

Receiving Can Have Its Eternal Rewards, Too

• Receiving a Disciple is Taken as Receiving the Messiah and His Message
• Receiving the Messiah and His Message is Taken as Receiving Father God and His Gift of Jesus
• Receive a Prophet for a Prophet’s Reward
• Receive a Righteous Man for a Righteous Man’s Reward
• Give a Cup of Cool, Liquid Kindness to Preserve God’s Reward.

“For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ (cf. Micah 7:6) Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me.  Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.”

• He will Dress to Serve
• He will Make His Servants Comfortable
• He will Provide Expert Hospitality

It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.

What a Blessing it is to Have a God Who is Willing to Serve His Servants

Surrendered for the Sake of the Kingdom

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life.”

God is Faithful for His Sake, His Kingdom’s Sake, and Our Sake
