10:40-42 What is the underlying teaching here for Christians?

(cp also Mk 9:41-42; Lk 9:48). The underlying teaching here for Christians is that how much they love God is measured by how well they treat others of God’s children (cp Jn 13:34-35; Ga 6:7-10; He 6:10; Jas 2:14-16; 1Jn 2:9-11; 3:10-19; 4:7-21; 5:1-2).

See also comments on Jn 13:34-35; 1Cor 12:31; Ga 5:1-8, 5:13; 1Th 3:12; 1Jn 2:7, 3:15, 3:16-18, 3:19-22, 4:7-21; Rev 3:7-13
