Lk12

"Do you think that I came here to give peace to earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!" - Jesus

So many people believe that Jesus' highest priority is unity. This could not be further from the truth. Unity can only be had among those who embrace truth. He prayed for unity among believers, not unity for the world.

Jesus knew that He was stepping into a furious battle for souls. He never compromised truth, and therefore, His life was almost in constant conflict! He was murdered for what He believed!

Jesus brings "peace" to those who believe. He desires unity among believers. Following Him will bring conflict and division is this world.

The gospel is divisive.
