No matter our differences…we are one human family.

Luke 12:51

“Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.”

+++

What’s this?

I thought Jesus was the “Prince of Peace“?

Well…he is.

But Jesus knew that calling everyone to extend unconditional love, peace and equal justice to all would not sit well with the people who held all the power. 

That would mean they would have to step down from their lofty positions and be willing to reach out to the people below.

That would mean everyone would have to work on accepting those who look different or act differently than them.

A follower of Jesus is called to help build God’s kingdom here…a place of peace, love, compassion and justice. 

But you are guaranteed to meet stiff resistance. You will cause division.

It got Jesus nailed to a cross.

Can we respond to persecution as Jesus did…with both strength and compassion?

If we do…the kingdom of God will be at hand.
