<p>The suffering and death of Jesus on the cross becomes the cross of salvation for some, and the fire of judgment for others.</p><p> </p><p>Everywhere Jesus goes, people are divided. With Jesus' coming, people will be divided into those who stand with Him and those who oppose Him. Do not forget that the world is divided because of Jesus’ coming. Therefore, as the time of His return approaches, this conflict will intensify.</p><p> </p><p>If we avoid disputes and divisions, large or small, out of fear while trying to live by faith in this age, we will become like the people of the world. Living according to the Word means not being afraid of such things but living in line with God’s kingdom and His righteousness.</p><p> </p><p>As people of Jesus, let’s not be afraid to live by Jesus’ gospel. It is good for everyone to be united, but this unity also comes through division and conflict.</p><p> </p><p><i>Excerpt from the sermon by Pastor Lee, Sep 25, 2024.</i></p><p><i>Luke 12:49-53</i></p>
