Can we move to a higher level of love than even Jesus (abandon children, + hate them)?

As a Scientific Humanist, you are so caring that you believe that you need to take care of our most vulnerable family members, first. You would have picked someone who believes in our axiom of “put children first”. One thing Scientific Humanism holds “sacred” is our children. You love children so much that you’d never abandon them. You also believe that “extremism is something we avoid”. So you would have moved beyond picking someone even as great as Jesus (Jesus wanted his followers to abandon their own children, and to hate their own children.)
Jesus wanted you to abandon your own children:
Luke 14:26:
GOD'S WORD® Translation
"If people come to me and are not ready to abandon their fathers, mothers, wives, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as their own lives, they cannot be my disciples.
