b"Sometimes when you read Jesus\\u2019 teachings, you feel like you\\u2019ve gotten on a horse that\\u2019s much too big and much too fast for you. When you read what Jesus says in Luke 12, you have nothing but lightning and blood, but in the center of this teaching is the most wonderful thing a human heart can hear.\\nIn this text, we learn two things: we learn about the divisiveness of Jesus caused by his self-centered teaching, and we learn about the agony of Jesus caused by his self-denying love. It may be surprising to many of you to see what he says, but you don\\u2019t know the real Jesus unless you understand his divisiveness and the constant agony and pressure under which he labored every minute of his ministry.\\nLet\\u2019s look now at these two things: 1) the divisiveness of Jesus, and 2) the agony of Jesus.\\nThis sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 17, 1993. Series: Hard Sayings of Jesus (1993).
