And a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.
Here it is said that when a person chooses the way of Jesus and places God’s will in the foremost place, disagreements may arise with those who do not share the same faith or devotion. Jesus is not saying that family members must treat one another with hostility, but he shows that decisions of faith can strongly conflict with the ideas and convictions of other family members. This word is a warning that true faith can be a personal challenge, including painful choices and sometimes strained relationships with the closest people.
