“Peace?”

Blessings Folk!

Today’s reading:

Matthew 10:34-36
Mark 10:38
Luke 12:49-53

Often people think that Jesus came with a “peace agenda”.

This is understandable. He is the “Prince of Peace”.

Yet, Jesus acknowledged that true faith and belief will bring division.

Division even to the point of fragmenting of families.

Be not surprised when folk reject you because of your faith.

Rejoice that you are counted as one in the Kingdom.

Pray for those who persecute.
Bless.
Do not retaliate.

Perhaps they too, will soon be a part of the Kingdom.
