Jesus said he didn’t come to bring peace but division. He said that he would divide families, which seems like a strange message. But as disciples, we need to try to understand what he meant. With that in mind, here’s your REAL Conversation for the week:
How does the Gospel message divide people and why?
Answer this question with your family. Use it as a conversation starter to think about how the Gospel message can divide people. It’s important to understand why this happens if we ever hope to bring people together. Remember that Jesus also said this: “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.” ~Luke 11:17b
Division will happen but we can’t let it last!
