Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Tough words we heard today! But Jesus doesn't hate families. They were His idea! But what Jesus does hate is idols. False gods. Which by catechetical definition is anything or anyone in this world that we fear, love, or trust more than God. And that can include the family. Now families are good. We thank God for families. But if family comes before God, that's not good. We've sinned. We need to repent.
