PRIORITY

Luke 14:26

26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:26 has nothing to do with salvation but rather Prioritizing!

THE WORD (HATE)- means to (love less) not to despise!

The “Priority” of what’s important in your life matters…

Many are content with just having All Things God and Life on their list-

But God is Interested in How you Prioritize that List!

Even in the Old Testament Commandments God Prioritized the Ten…

The Greatest was “Love the Lord thy God with all your heart...” and then Jesus even enumerates in Importance by saying-

The (Second) is like unto it- “Love thy neighbor as thyself”

Don’t be smug with the fact that your list is complete!

The “Order” or “Prioritizing” placement may be messed up! Or (Out of Order).

God doesn’t care that you Love some things and or People-

But that He is at the top of the List!

Trumping (Everything Else) that is on that List…

What is (Second) in Importance should never come before number One…

A Person’s Priorities are clearly seen-

Not by what they say, but rather by what they do….
