       But Jesus stands for the truth—and the truth hurts, it causes pain, and goes in contrast with what Satan says in many different ways—because Jesus stands for the truth many people will be divided against one another. And many of us know about this on a personal level. Whether it is division within families, with friends, with coworkers, whatever, we know the pain that can come from our believing in Christ and their not believing in him. Sometimes people become Christians and they are the only Christians in their household. And conflicts definitely erupt as a result of that. Perhaps he or she leads others to Christ within the family, or perhaps they don’t come to Christ. There is that constant push-back from the family members against the person to not follow what the Bible says but to just keep doing what everyone else does. And then there are the friendships that may even end because the person now believes in Christ. The new Christian may have to end them to stay devoted, or the unbelieving person may walk away and give up the friendship.
