Best ANTI-Advertisement for Christianity Mt 10:38

Jesus speaks brutally in today's passage.  If this is all you know about being a Christian, not a single person would sign up.  Jesus would have no followers.  He would have no worthy followers.

To emphasize the point He rattles our relationships with family, our relationship with the world, our value, whether we matter like last time.  And if that wasn't enough, HE GOES THERE, He mentions the unmentionable, He speaks the unspeakable:  the cross.

Buckle your seatbelts.  Today is a rough ride.
