Jesus and His followers are no strangers to opposition. Even when crowds gathered, Jesus knew that His mission was about making disciples (committed followers of him) and not simply attracting droves of people (some who would reject him even though attracted to things he did). For us today, a mark of being a disciple is the reality of mixed reviews with your choice of following Jesus. Sometimes the affirmation you desire doesn't come from those closest to you. This is why God has made the church into a family where we can spur one another on to obeying God and following Jesus.

Jesus demonstrates how God's Laws were meant for the purpose of giving God glory and for the benefit of God's children. However, the religious leaders in Jesus' day hardened their hearts where glorifying God and doing good for others became peripheral. Ultimately, in this passage we see Jesus choose life for others even at the expense of his own.
