34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is worthy of me. 38And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. -Matthew 10:34-39 Bible, King James Version
Ideally Jesus wants us all to be peace makers however He knew His message would divide mankind sometimes to the point that they would take up arms against one another. There will be those of the same household whose differing spiritual beliefs will divide them. In order to follow the Master Jesus one must be willing, if necessary, to upset loved ones by changing our spiritual beliefs. Those who love their families more than God, and the Ascended Masters who represent God, are serving their families rather than serving God. We need to place our Heavenly Father, or the I AM Presence of God, first in our lives and follow the teachings of the Ascended Masters or we will not be worthy of the Ascension. Those who lose their old way of life, which may include losing family, relations, loved ones and one's religion for the sake of following the Ascended Masters shall find Eternal Life.
40The Christ is king today, and men must recognize his power. 41He who loves not the Christ, which is the love of God, before all else, can never gain the prize of spirit consciousness. 42And they who love their parents or their children more than they love the Christ can never wear the name of Christ. 43And he who loves his life more than he loves the Christ cannot please God. 44And he who clings to life shall lose his life, while he who gives his life for Christ will save his life.

CHAPTER 122.40The Christ is king today, and men must recognize his power. 41He who loves not the Christ, which is the love of God, before all else, can never gain the prize of spirit consciousness. 42And they who love their parents or their children more than they love the Christ can never wear the name of Christ. 43And he who loves his life more than he loves the Christ cannot please God. 44And he who clings to life shall lose his life, while he who gives his life for Christ will save his life.
