Matt. 10:34-37. “Natural affections” are good, but they were intended by God for this life. He regularly upends natural affections throughout Scripture and in this life, and His doing so is a foretaste of the Kingdom. It is a breaking into this age of the age that is to come. All things and people are God’s, and we are meant to hold on to them loosely. Rejoice in your natural relations as His gifts, but understand that many of them will be temporary and will not carry on into eternity.
