Luke 9:24 Whosoever will lose his life for my sake

²⁴For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. Luke 9:24 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.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi H. Dowling

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.
