Summary

Luke 12:49-53

I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 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.

Hello, everybody, Setham Maloneyu from Freedom, Hope you're doing well. So I had a while time

0:06.1

doing Corinthians yesterday and felt almost divine in my exploration. So I asked listeners for

0:14.9

favorite Bible verses and I've got a bunch. I'm going to choose one every day or two to explicate as best as I am able,

0:23.4

and I hope that the grace shall slam into my chest and brain verily like a freight train of wisdom.

0:29.8

So this is Luke 1249-53. Jesus says,

0:37.0

think not that I am come to send peace on earth.

0:41.6

I came not to send peace, but a sword.

0:45.3

For I, and come to set a man at variance against his father,

0:49.5

and the daughter against her mother,

0:51.3

and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

0:53.3

and a man's foes shall be

0:55.4

they of his own household. And it's a very powerful statement. It's a very powerful statement.

1:00.9

And my interpretation of this goes as follows. What do your parents love about you? What do your parents love about you? I claim to love you. They say they

1:13.9

love you. I'm not saying they don't, but what do your parents love about you? Which is related to

1:24.2

an even more essential question, which is what do you love about yourself?

1:29.0

Now, this is one of the earliest questions that I worked to answer in my philosophical conversation

1:35.4

with planet, people, and hopefully eternity, which is what is love?

1:41.4

And love is our involuntary response to virtue if we're virtuous. And the reason I put

1:47.3

the word involuntary in is that anybody who asks you or to will love or demands love from you

1:54.0

or say that you owe them love is as foolish as a man who overeats and then says to his body, you owe me abs.

2:04.3

I guess there are abs in there somewhere under the mountain of belly fat.

2:08.5

But it is as foolish to say to your body when you overeat and don't exercise, you owe me
