Compassion and Grace Trumps Division

The 2nd Sunday after Pentecost brings us Matthew’s gospel 10:24-39 in which Jesus warns his disciples that their ministry in his name will meet with opposition, requiring absolute trust in God and an unswerving commitment to their Lord. So, is this true in our lifetime?
Pastor Beth reminded us that Jesus promised his followers (that means us too) that they/we would be happy, fearless and always in trouble!
We must love God and one another even when we do not agree.
There will always be division but the compassion and grace of Christ trumps division.
Each of us belong to Christ and we are directed to live out the compassion of Christ in our own life.
