(Matthew 10:34-39 )
"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it."
Yes this is true, to Follow Jesus is Totally a Commitment, that is why everyone who is into Him is being persecuted, broken family etc.
( naka experience nako being persecuted almost a broken family tungod i choose Him more than my wife and children )
The word of God became divisive because people did not Accept Him, it became devisive because salvation through Jesus Christ is offered to us Individually.
