We are finishing our study of Matthew 10. We may often feel the comfort of conservativism, but the Lord calls us to stand firm for him. In our text, Jesus makes clear where the battle line is drawn. He reminds us of the cost of discipleship and also the reward.
We will consider these three points from the text:
1. The sword of the gospel.
2. The allegiance that it calls us to.
3. The sure reward that it brings.
