CURRENT DEVOTIONAL

Allegiance

Jesus occasionally has some rather shocking words for those interested in following him. Here, a man approaches Jesus. Many scholars believe this man’s father was still alive and that the man desired to uphold cultural and even biblical norms in caring for his father. Yet, Jesus’s response indicates that allegiance to and affection for Jesus is to be of even greater priority than for one’s own family.
