Mark 3:24-25 AMPC
And if a kingdom is divided and rebelling against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. [25] And if a house is divided (split into factions and rebelling) against itself, that house will not be able to last.
Divisions, divisions everywhere across global society.
The ability to disagree agreeably is evaporating.
Now someone with a differing opinion is vilified, denigrated and even criminalised - it's a worrying trend - and will lead to the destruction of our way of life.
Jesus came to break down divisions and unite us in His Kingdom (soon to be established).
Through Him partition walls between races, male and female are broken down and made one:
Ephesians 2:13-18 TPT
Yet look at you now! Everything is new! Although you were once distant and far away from God, now you have been brought delightfully close to Him through the sacred Blood of Jesus - you have actually been united to Christ! [14] Our reconciling "Peace" is Jesus! He has made Jew and non-Jew one in Christ. By dying as our sacrifice, He has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us and has now made us equal through our union with Christ. [15] Ethnic hatred has been dissolved by the Crucifixion of His precious Body on the Cross. The legal code that stood condemning every one of us has now been repealed by His Command. His Triune Essence has made peace between us by starting over - forming one new race of humanity, Jews and non-Jews fused together! [16] Two have now become one, and we live restored to God and reconciled in the Body of Christ. Through His Crucifixion, hatred died. [17] For the Messiah has come to preach this sweet message of peace to you, the ones who were distant, and to those who are near. [18] And now, because we are united to Christ, we both have equal and direct access in the realm of the Holy Spirit to come before the Father!
Good news indeed - hold fast to Jesus' Unifying Sacrifice.
