So this is my first OP on here so be gentle please.
To be clear from the start, I'm an athiest. I've recently came across this quote from the bible. Jesus says:
'He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me'.
Now, I have no intention of inflamming (this quote has probably been picked over before, no idea). I'm just curious as it just struck me that, as a mother of two young children, I just can't understand how a Christian could love Jesus more than their children. How do you reconcile this with your faith?
