What are some of the most difficult Bible verses for you to accept, and what is their significance t

One of the verses that I have read during my study of the entirety of the Holy Bible that amazed me beyond description is found in the New Testament. Luke 14:26 in the KJV states: “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” This verse has many implications and significances. Firstly, we see in the Old Testament in the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mt. Sinai in the wilderness, that you should “honor thy Father and thy Mother so that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord giveth thee.” (Exodus 20:12) However the verse in Luke appears to contradict that. What the verse in Luke is saying is that in relation to The Holy Trinity, namely the Son, Jesus Christ, you should for all intents and purposes negate your personal and familial relationships in order to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ. In other words, you should revere Jesus Christ, his ministry, sacrifice, and divinity to the point were your other earthly relationships appear menial. Not to say they should be abandoned, but that your reverence for Jesus Christ should be at the immediate forefront. There are surely those who read such scriptures with curiosity, however, these are the scriptures that the Bible refers to at the “meat” of the Gospel, as opposed to the “milk” of the Gospel which are the softer, easier to digest scriptures. (Hebrews 5:11–14). Nonetheless, the Bible continues to inspire contemplation and good works in many souls, and this, for all intents and purposes, is the core function of all of the scriptures and the prophets.
