● Matt 8:21-22 . . Another disciple said to him: Lord, first let me go and
bury my father. But Jesus told him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their
own dead.

The incident tells me that not all commandments are equal. In other words;
the commandment to honor God trumps the commandment to honor one's
parents.

● Deut 6:4-5 . . Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! And
you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your might.

● Mark 12:28-30 . . One of the teachers of the law came and heard them
debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him:
Of all the commandments, which is the most important?

. . .The most important one; answered Jesus, is this: Hear, O Israel, the
Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

However, unless following Christ is somehow, in some way, the same as
following God, then Jesus was way out of line when he put himself ahead of
that man's covenanted obligation to honor his father.

No not a single commandment trumps another and the most important one to love your God with all your heart mind body and soul is called the most important not because it is more important than the others but because this commandment completes the others. If this commandment is written on your heart you learn to naturally obey the rest

John 14
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?

The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

JOHN 8
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

Isaiah 7
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you[c] a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (which means 'GOD with us')

Following JESUS IS the same as following GOD! :)

PSALM 2:12

Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
