An eruption of emotions
Luke 12.49-56Jesus warns that following his way is likely to bring conflict and division, even within a family. He also encourages people to see and understand what is really going on in the world, just as they understand that a cloud usually means rain.
There are powerful words in this week’s reading about the impact of the choice to align yourself with Jesus. And the potential to divide people who choose discipleship over familial loyalty leads to an eruption of emotions from Jesus. The emotions expressed allow us to see the humanity Jesus shares with us. He displays vulnerability and, as we think about how he felt, we can take a moment to look at our own vulnerabilities and strong emotions.
This week we explore what happens in moments of vulnerability.
