The Division Jesus Brings

Topic: Jesus Scripture: Luke 12:49–59
Text: Luke 12:49-59
Big Idea: The cross creates the great dividing line, exposing hypocrisy in the unbelieving and folly in the unrepentant
The cross kindles the fire and creates the division (vv. 49-53)
- Specific context: Israel responding to Christ
- Enduring application: Embracing Christ means embracing rejection
Hypocrites cannot discern their greatest need (vv. 54-56)
- Specific context: The Lord is bringing judgment to Israel
- Enduring application: The responsibility of discerning the time you're in
Fools do not consider the path to judgment they're on (vv. 57-59)

- Enduring application: The razor's edge of unbelief
