PAINFUL FAMILY DIVISION.
Family division is a very painful and difficult thing to have to go through as a believer and follower of Jesus Christ.
Contrary to popular belief, Jesus did not come to the earth to bring peace, but rather division. Jesus will one day come back to earth as the Prince of Peace; however, his first coming was to bring division.
Not that he wishes to cause division, but that the truth itself divides people, and being that Jesus is the truth, he certainly does cause division. However, he would much rather that everyone from every household would get saved so that there’s no division.
Luke 12:51. Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
Matthew 10:35. For I am come to set a man at variance (against) his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Matthew 10:36. And a man’s foes (enemies) shall be they of his own household.
Matthew 10:37. He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
The minute someone in a household becomes born again, the other members of that family will suddenly become bitter towards that member, and even hateful.
Luke 12:52. There shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Light and darkness simply don’t mix together, nor does righteousness with unrighteousness.
2 Corinthians 6:14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Without the Spirit of Christ in them, no matter how much effort you put into trying to convince them of this newfound life, they simply cannot receive it until God prepares their hearts to receive.
1 Corinthians 2:14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Joseph was rejected and hated by his own eleven brothers who first plotted to kill Joseph, and then decided to throw him into a well to perish, and later sold him as a slave to Egypt.
John 4:44. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
Matthew 10:22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
John 15:19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
John 17:14. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
1 Peter 4:14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
John 15:21. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
Matthew 5:11-12. 11) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
2 Chronicles 36:16. But they continually mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
1 John 3:13. Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.
Matthew 5:10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Luke 6:22-23. Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake. 23) Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
2 Timothy 3:12. All who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
