Jesus Christ: Troublemaker

Jesus promises us a happy ending. But getting there will be another story. In this week’s gospel, Jesus tells us: Do you think I came to give peace to the earth. No, I tell you, I came to divide it. To a world awash in sin, Jesus announces he’s come to shake things up… big time. But Christ isn’t just talking tough. He’s accurately predicting the impact his message of love will have on our self-centered human nature.
