Tus nqe raug licas?”

Matthew / Mathais 10:34-42 34Nej tsis txhob xav hais tias, kuv los ua kom neeg ntiajteb nyob sib haum.

Kuv tsis los ua kom neeg nyob sib haum, tiamsis kuv coj ntaj los.

35Kuv los ua kom tub tawmtsam txiv, ntxhais tawmtsam niam, thiab nyab tawmtsam pog.

36Cov neeg uas ua yeebncuab phem dua ntais rau yus, yeej yog yus tsevneeg.

37Tus uas mloog niamtxiv lus heev dua li mloog kuv lus, tus ntawd tsis tsimnyog ua kuv tus thwjtim.

Tus uas hlub nws tej tub tej ntxhais heev dua li nws muab siab npuab kuv, tus ntawd tsis tsimnyog ua kuv tus thwjtim.

38Tus uas tsis kwv nws tus ntoo khaublig nrog kuv mus, tus ntawd tsis tsimnyog ua kuv tus thwjtim.

39Tus uas khuvxim nws txojsia, tus ntawd txojsia yuav tu, tiamsis tus uas ua kuv tes haujlwm nws tsis khuvxim nws txojsia, tus ntawd yuav tau txojsia.()

40Tus uas lees yuav nej, twb yog tus ntawd lees yuav kuv.

Thiab tus uas lees yuav kuv, twb yog tus ntawd lees yuav tus uas txib kuv los.41Tus uas lees yuav Vajtswv ib tug tubtxib rau qhov nws paub hais tias, tus ntawd yog tus uas qhia Vajtswv txojlus, cais nws yuav tau nqizog ib yam li tus tubtxib ntawd.

Tus uas lees yuav ib tug neeg zoo rau qhov nws paub hais tias, tus ntawd yog neeg ncaj, cais nws yuav tau nqizog ib yam li tus ntawd.

42Kuv qhia tseeb rau nej hais tias, tus uas muab ib khob dej txiag rau kuv cov thwjtim, tus uas muaj meejmom yau dua sawvdaws huv tibsi haus, rau qhov nws paub hais tias, tus ntawd yog tus ntseeg kuv, nws yeej yuav tau nqizog

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.

I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35 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—

36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

i

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.

41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.

42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”

Notes:

We Christians are tempted to hide their faith or even to deny their Lord.

but anyone who is more concerned about his relationship with his relatives than about his relationship with his Lord is making a disastrous choice.

To lose one’s life for Jesus sake is to give oneself completely into his hands, body and soul.

It is to make oneself a living sacrifice to the Lord.

We are blessing to others: We rather share the message through the Word of God: peace with God, patience in time f tribulation, confidence to pray, and the like.

A simple gesture as giving a cup of cold water to a thirsty child, we expressed Christian faith, God is pleased, and he will find a way to reward us.

Theme: How much?

The cost to carry the Cross in a worldly manner

You true enemies are your own family.

B.

Part II.

The cost of being a blessing to others

A. You are blessed by giving to other - it is a blessing to have someone for you to love.

It is best to give and show love to others.

Qhov lus nov tsis yog rov tawm tsam Yexus.

Qhov lus nov tsis tawm tsam cov tub txib tej lus los hais rau cov neeg zov yaj.

Cov tim tswv tshaj hais tias kev thaj yeeb los rau ntiaj teb.

TAbsis qhov nov Yexus
