Scripture:
““Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword...Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” Matthew 10:34, 37 (NIV) “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. " John 3:17 (ESV) Application: How important it is to study the Bible and pray for discernment. God sent Jesus to save this world. Jesus came to bring a sword of division. Conflict? Not at all! To save a person in peril, you've got to jerk them out of danger. Thug-life family and friends (no matter the social class) are like burning homes (no matter the zip code). To save the residents, you have to pull them out of the disaster. Jesus came here with a rescue mission. But He doesn't take us out of any lifestyle we choose to remain in. If we stay in that environment, we'll never have peace. Pray that He will show us the exit. When we choose to leave, He'll do the pulling to peace. Prayer: Dear Lord, we pray for the rescue of all people who are trapped in sinful environments. We believe God wants all to be saved. Amen.
