A Peace that Divides
We often seek a quiet escape from a world of conflict. We long for peace, especially in our homes and families. What, then, are we to do when the Prince of Peace Himself says, “Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division”? Jesus’ words about bringing a dividing fire can be jarring. Yet, as we explore this profound paradox, we will find our comfort not in a fragile, earthly truce, but in the ultimate division He endured upon the cross so that we might have a rugged, eternal peace with God.
Sermon Text: Luke 12:49-53
