Not peace but division (Luke 12:49-53)


Jesus predicts that his words will cause divisions among social groups, particularly families.  This is not meant to be an instruction or endorsement of familial conflict, but rather is the natural result of the words of Jesus.  For the Kingdom of God to move, the Kingdom (of this world) must lose.  This plays out in the hearts of people and even on the family level.
