People are accusing Jesus saying that Beelzebul possesses him while he is casting out monsters.
Jesus points out the foolishness of that. When a house is divided, it can’t last.
Considering how divided Christianity is at times, I’m amazed that there are still Christians in our world.
It is truly the work of the Holy Spirit!
There is so much that unites us, and I believe that it is the work of Satan that is dividing us.
Can you imagine the changes that our world would experience if all Christians worked together to live out a gospel of love?
What if everyone understood the goodness of God and the Good News of salvation that Jesus won for us?
If we could stop squabbling about which type of Christianity was the best, people might look at us and say the same thing they said about the early Christians – see how they love one another!
Think about how you choose a restaurant. Do you pick the one with two cars in the parking lot or two spaces left?
If I’m unfamiliar with an area, I want the popular one.
People are both attracted to Christianity and turned away for the same reason – they see how Christians act, and divisiveness is another example of hypocrisy.
We must stand as one against a world that works to create hatred and animosity.
In the long run, love will conquer, but it will take less time if those who claim to follow Jesus live lives based on love and unity.
