Luke 12:49-56
The prophet Isaiah said that the Messiah, the Savior, would be called Prince of Peace. The angels sing of peace on earth the day Christ is born. Yet in the Gospel reading, Jesus tells us that He did not come to bring peace but division. Which is it? Peace or Division? Or can it both? Because the kind of peace that Jesus brings may not be what we think peace means, and it is in His coming as Savior and Messiah that He creates division between those who believe in Him (and have His peace) and those who do not. What does that division look like in our world today?
