Jesus ripped into them over this issue. He didn’t say this was some minor slip of priorities. He was saying that by neglecting family responsibilities they had totally lost it. They were blind guides. They had not been planted by the Father. They were weeds that would be ripped up by the roots. And what was their grave offense? Advising that it is acceptable to neglect family responsibilities for the sake of serving God.

This is the same Jesus who said, “Sell all you have and give to the poor . . ."
