Luke 12:49-56
Jesus’ statement that he has come to bring division shows an important element of real love, that it requires fortitude to do what is hard.  This understanding saves us from weak and sentimental imitations of the fire of God’s love.

Luke 12:32-40
Confidence that God’s desire is to give us eternal life frees us from fear and enables us to live with a love that make more sense of the world around us.
