LUKE 12 : 49-59

Peace or not Peace?

Page 3: Following Jesus The Red Letters Gabe Orea. XICF. 22 Feb 2015. LI

49 “I came to cast fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54 He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.’ And so it happens. 55 And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and it happens. 56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?

57 “And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. 59 I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny.”

From early times…

Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, “This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed…

From ancient times…

…for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

Micah 7:5-6

Peace or not Peace?

But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

In a Nutshell

Peace or not Peace?  

Certainly there is potential division when the Gospel is established but we should pay attention to the signs of our time, as they could announce both, challenges and blessings.

How does your spiritual weather looks like recently? How are you responding?
