[00:01] Jesus said, "If you love your family more than him, you're not worthy of him." That sounds harsh, but here's the thing. True discipleship requires full surrender and wholehearted faith. No half measures. You have to take [music]
[00:15] up your cross. Matthew 10:37 through 42 lays it all out. And here's the crazy Jesus said, "Whoever tries to save their life will [music] lose it. But if you lose your life for his sake, you find true life."
[00:30] Even the smallest act of kindness done in his name gets rewarded. When someone receives you, they're receiving him. So, the question [music] is, are you all in or are you playing it safe? Because halfway doesn't work with Jesus.
[00:44] >> "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever not worthy of me. And whoever does not after me is not worthy of me." Apostles listen with furrowed brows and deep
[00:58] contemplation. "Whoever finds his life will lose it. And whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." "Whoever receives you receives me. And whoever
[01:10] receives me receives the one who sent me." Peter nods, showing reverence and determination. "Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. And whoever [music] receives a righteous man because
[01:25] he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple." Close-up of Jesus's cupped hands [music] holding a simple cup of water. Jesus gazes
[01:38] directly at his apostles with conviction and love. "Amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward." [music] Final wide shot. Group on hillside. Camera pulls back to show magnitude. Montage. Close-ups of [music] apostles
