In this Scripture we have one of the most difficult passages spoken by Jesus. He says in verses 32 – 33, “Everyone therefore who shall confess Me (as all I represent, and have spoken) before men, I will also confess before My Father Who is in Heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father Who is in Heaven. Jesus makes our public profession of faith in Him (as the Living Word of God) the Sword which divides those whom He will proclaim before His Father, against those who deny Him publicly. Ephesians 6: 17b: says, “And the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” He is emphatic that there is no middle ground for anyone.
