Peace on Earth

Imagine world peace. The end of terrorism, bombs, and war.

Peace at work between coworkers, employees, and employers.

Peace at home. Husbands, wives, and kids all getting along.

Beautiful thought. Maybe it will happen.

Unfortunately, Jesus just dropped an atomic bomb in Luke 12.

"Do you think I came to bring peace on earth?" (12:51) He asks.

"Yes! Of course. Peace on earth goodwill toward men" we say.

Well we're wrong.

"No, I tell you, [not peace] but division." He replies

Just when you think you have Jesus figured out.
