Luke 12:49-53 – Pentecost 10 (C)

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss Christ's teaching that he comes to bring judgment, not peace. Jesus arrives with both law and gospel, and in this text, he proclaims the judgment of God against human sin and the division between people that arises because of it. This is the baptism of judgment he undergoes at the cross, making way for the baptism of death and life bestowed upon the Christian in the holy sacrament.
