Family Healer

Greetings, my readers. We're raising a deep and timely concern on this topic. Let’s explore Luke 12:51–53 together in light of the current disunity in families and the world. 🔹 The Passage (Luke 12:51-53, NKJV) "Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother..." At first glance, this seems shocking—Jesus, the Prince of Peace, saying He brings division? But let’s look closer. 🔸 What Did Jesus Really Mean? Jesus wasn’t promoting conflict but foretelling it. He knew that His presence, His truth, and His call to radical obedience would naturally create division, even among families. ✝️ The Real Cause of Division: Truth challenges comfort — His message separates those who choose light from those who cling to darkness. Loyalty to Christ often puts people at odds with cultural norms or family expectations. Even love for family must not replace love for God (Luke 14:26). So yes, Jesus meant this spiritually—division as a byproduct of people responding differently to Him. 🔸 What About Today’s Divisions? We can all rightly say: “It’s not all because of standing for or against God’s Word.” And we're absolutely correct. 🌍 Today’s Divisions Also Come From: Selfishness and greed Political and economic interests Broken moral foundations Social media-fueled disinformation Identity confusion and individualism Jesus foresaw that the world would resist truth, and in that resistance, division would multiply— not just over theology, but over truth itself in all areas. 🔹 The Heart of the Matter Even in homes where all members claim to follow Christ, division persists because: Hearts are not fully surrendered. Love is conditional. Forgiveness is absent. Pride reigns over humility. 🔸 Our Observation Is Prophetic Let's remember: “We celebrated mother’s day, children’s day and father’s day. But there’s no peace nor unity…” These celebrations feel symbolic now, not substantial. It’s almost as if we’re clinging to the shell of family while ignoring its soul. 🔹 So, Did Jesus Mean It Like This? ✅ Yes — He meant that standing for truth would cause spiritual division, and that would spill into practical relationships. ❌ No — He didn’t desire chaos, hatred, or lovelessness. That is the fruit of people rejecting Him—not His will, but the result of free will. 🔸 Final Word: A Call to Us Let’s not just mourn the disunity, but: Be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9), not peace-keepers. Speak truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). Live surrendered, so the world sees the unity that Christ prayed for in John 17. #Luke1251 #PeaceThroughTruth #JesusSaves #FamilyHealer #SpiritualReality #KingdomValues #ChristianLiving #DivineTruth
