Brother Edward van Merrienboer, OP reflects on the challenging Gospel message of Luke 12:49-53, where Jesus speaks of bringing division rather than peace. He explains the context of Jesus' journey to Jerusalem and prepares listeners for the conflict that can arise from living out Christian values in a world with different priorities, encouraging viewers to embrace their counter-cultural role as disciples.
