Romans 6:19-23, Ps.1, Luke 12:49-53

Living with division

Jesus, aware of his passion, being fully human, lets it all hang out so to speak. The magnitude of his death and Resurrection calls for strong language and commonplace imagery. Family loyalty is strong in most families. Loyalty to the Truth can supersede family loyalty and that causes division amongst good people. This division of good people from good people is very hard to live with but it happens from time to time for the sake of the kingdom.
