Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Division – Destroys” – Faith: Jesus proclaimed, “Any Kingdom which is divided against itself is heading for ruin; the house collapses against the house; including Satan and his devils.” Ponder on, “Jesus faces enemies who try to condemn His miraculous powers. Do we defend God’s Truth, with great courage and commitment; and humility?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 11:15-20
When Jesus had cast out a devil, some of the people said, ‘It is through Beelzebul, the prince of devils, that he drives devils out.’ Others asked him, as a test, for a sign from heaven; but, knowing what they were thinking, he said to them,
‘Any kingdom which is divided against itself is heading for ruin, and house collapses against house. So, too, with Satan: if he is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? – since you claim that it is through Beelzebul that I drive devils out. Now if it is through Beelzebul that I drive devils out, through whom do your own sons drive them out? They shall be your judges, then. But if it is through the finger of God that I drive devils out, then the kingdom of God has indeed caught you unawares.’
