The Prince Of Peace Has Come To Bring Division

Jesus is the Prince of Peace --

For to us a child is born,
    to us a son is given,
    and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6
 
And the shepherds heard the angels sing at Jesus’ birth:
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." Luke 2:14
 
And Jesus taught:
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Matt 5:9
 
Accordingly, Christians typically believe they’re supposed to “keep the peace” because that is the ministry of Christ.
 
But Jesus taught:
 
Luke 12:
49 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
 
These are strong words!  How can the Prince of Peace say, “Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.?

We need to understand who Jesus is and what He is doing in the world today.
 
As the Prince of Peace, He reconciles men to God destroying the rebellion, enmity, and hatred of men toward God and removing God’s judgment.  The born-again man is transformed from an enemy of God to a beloved child of God.  That is His ministry of Peace.
 
Consequently, however, that child of God now will be hated by the "World”.
 
John 15:18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.  If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also . .
 
And, there is the division.  Man hating man; carnal man hating Child of God; because of the work of Christ.

   The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes, take the water of life without cost.  Rev. 22:17
Jesus Is Lord
