Don't forget to quote in context. Matthew 10:26-42 is where you get that quote. Jesus said it in the context of persecution and fear of persecution. this the entire passage:

[DELETED TEXT] 

So the context of what Jesus was saying was clearly to encourage people to stand up for His sake so that they may have true life after death. During this time period the new believers were very harshly persecuted and put to death (Roman Persecutions). He was leaving words to live by.


 I was actually thinking of Luke 12:51, but, you have a real talent for spin. You're like a little mustard seed.
