“Do You Think I Came to Bring Peace?”

by Alistair Begg

Luke 12:49–53
 (ID: 2475)

Many places in Scripture speak of the Messiah as one who will bring peace. What are we to make, then, of Jesus’ claim that He came to bring not peace but division? Considering Jesus’ words, Alistair Begg helps us grasp a proper understanding of peace with God and the division that occurs when He changes us. The transformation that comes from the Gospel will affect all parts of our lives—and not everyone is willing to accept those who seek Christ with their whole hearts.
