Jesus Said The Truth will Set Us Free

Jesus talked about peace so much that it is very likely that He desired us to be at peace and united with each other. On the other hand Jesus knew that sadly the result of following Him would cause division. All we have to do is look at our history. Issues like Homosexuality, Cohabitation, Abortion, War; just to name a few, have caused much division and rejection in families. This effort at truth speaking can cause a lack of peace in our family. Jesus said the truth will set us free. But He also knew it would be hard and disruptive. Jesus wanted peace, yet today’s gospel is a reality check. It seems that many Christians take this passage about Jesus coming to bring division as if it were a commandment. Be divided in the name of God! I don’t think so. Just look at all the unnecessary and petty conflicts and splitting up in our churches. We do not seem to have much tolerance for uncertainty in our relationships. Unity does not mean walking in accord, all thinking identical thoughts. The more we embrace diversity the closer we will be to unity. Even the one God is diverse (Father, Son and Holy Spirit.). - Deacon Corney
