主耶穌說:“我留下平安給你們,我將我的平安賜給你們。我所賜的,不像世人所賜的;你們心裡不要憂愁,也不要膽怯”。(約翰福音14:27)

在路加福音12:49-54,主耶穌又說:“我來要把火丟在地上,倘若已經著起來,不也是我所願意的嗎?我有當受的洗還沒有成就,我是何等的迫切呢!你們以為我來,是叫地上太平嗎?我告訴你們:不是,乃是叫人分爭⋯。”

Homework
Scripture Reading: John 14:27, Luke 12:49~51

In John 14:27, it says: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. In Luke 12:49~51, it also says: “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division…”
