Commands of Christ: 46
Do not think that I came to establish peace on earth.
Be assured, Jesus is offensive to anyone who wants to live for themselves. He brings division to any group that has any agenda other than His Kingdom and glory. If we view Jesus as some gentle soul who just wants everyone to get along, we misunderstand Him. He deeply desires peace and unity, but a peace and unity under God. Unity on His terms, under His direction, for His purposes. He has drawn a “line in the sand.” Everyone is either for Him or against Him. We need to be very clear on that fact. If we claim we are His, that means our lives are His. Our relationships are His. Our possessions are His. He has all our allegiance and time and energy and resources.

About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
