The War of Love Divides
May 31, 2025

    As the sheep of Jesus’ pasture, to find your life is to lose it, but to lose your life for Jesus’ sake is to find it.

  1. The War of Love Divides: Jesus brings division. (Matthew 10:34-36)
    • Division that is regrettable but inevitable.
    • Your relationships will divide over truth.
    • Your relationships will divide over loyalties.

  2. The War of Love and Loyalties: Jesus demands supreme love. (Matthew 10:37-38)

    • Your loyalty to Jesus must exceed familial loyalties.
    • Your loyalty to Jesus must exceed personal loyalties.

  3. The War of Love and Rewards: Jesus rewards His servants.(Matthew 10:39-42)

    • If you find your life, you’ll lose it.
    • If you lose your life for Jesus’ sake, you’ll find it.
    • Your least service i*s observed and will be rewarded.*
