05/26/2024 - Kingdom Family Vacation - Anti-Family Values Jesus?

"[Jesus] said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” -excerpt from Luke 9:57 - 9:62 (NIV)
Science suggests that no one is actually a good multi-tasker, and I’m definitely proof of that. I can only do one thing at a time, so at any given moment when I’m interrupted, my go-to phrase is “Give me a minute.”
I don’t ask for the minute to be rude. It’s quite the opposite! I ask for the extra time so I can transition from what I’m currently doing and be able to give the person my full attention, as they deserve. Assuming it’s not an emergency situation, most people are happy to patiently oblige. And on the rare occasion that there’s a crisis, then of course we turn immediately to the matter at hand!
Everything I’m describing here is rather normal. It’s so normal, in fact, that this might be the most boring sermon teaser you’ve ever read. As a society, we understand that priorities must be made, and there are certain things–especially our families–which rightly demand our attention first.
This is what makes some of the Bible’s comments on families and the Kingdom of God shocking! "Family-friendly" or "family values" have been used by some Christians as synonyms for "Christian teaching."
But what if Jesus doesn't always sound "pro-family?"
