Matthew 10:40 - 10:42
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this discussion of Matthew 10, Steve Gregg explains that receiving Jesus is equivalent to receiving God. Rejecting Christ means rejecting His authority, not just His teachings. Gregg suggests that different rewards exist for different levels of service, but it is not our place to judge who will receive more. Ultimately, we should serve others in the same way a disciple would, following the teachings of Christ.
