By Harry T. Cook Matthew 10: 34-43 Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth, so Matthew depicts Jesus as saying. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. This is not a happy text. It speaks of division and discord among people who should be happy together, […]

With Whom to Eat?
By Harry T. Cook Matthew 9: 9-13 Servant-hood can be very ennobling.
