A house divided against itself cannot stand. Jesus makes this observation in light of charges that he is possessed. He is possessed, not by a demon, but by the Holy Spirit. Through baptism we receive the Holy Spirit and are joined to Christ and adopted into the household of God. Those with whom we sing and pray this day are Jesus’ family. Together we go forth in peace to do the will of God confident of our eternal heavenly home.
