You Can't Be Half In, Half Out Kind of Disciple

In matthew ten, one of the things that helps is to know that common talmutical quotation in the talmud in the misna. The only relationship stronger than that between a father and a son is the relationship bond between a rabbi and his disciple. Jesus isn't saing making some condemnation of relationships with mothers and fathers. He's saying, you can't be half in in this discipleship thing. You have to be all way in.
