Matthew 10:21 - 42

Jesus outlines for His followers the opposition they will face for identifying with Him.  Family ties will be broken in some instances, persecution in various forms will come, and this is a good thing.  The very opposition faced will serve as validation that they are serving One more powerful than even the strongest ties on earth.  Allegiance to His cause will bring reward and satisfaction.  Even the little tasks done in the manner by which He would do them will be greatly rewarded.  Jesus makes a very clear statement:  He has come to bring a division.  Because of Him, lines will be drawn, allegiances made clear and distinctions delineated.  On which side do you find yourself?
