● Matt 8:21-22 . . Another disciple said to him: Lord, first let me go and bury my father. But Jesus told him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.
The incident tells me that not all commandments are equal. In other words; the commandment to honor God trumps the commandment to honor one's parents.
● Deut 6:4-5 . . Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
● Mark 12:28-30 . . One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him: Of all the commandments, which is the most important?
. . .The most important one; answered Jesus, is this: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
However, unless following Christ is somehow, in some way, the same as following God, then Jesus was way out of line when he put himself ahead of that man's covenanted obligation to honor his father.
