Internally undivided heart
To strive to love God with all my heart.
Believe me; the kingdom will fall when there is no love in it… These are the words of the song Three nuts for Cinderella, and they are really true. Love unites people; unloving divides them. In the same way, love for God unites us with God; sin separates us from him. Alone, in union with the other (God, man…), one can live fully. It is in unity the future; there is extinction in the division. Let us return to the gospel, to the words of Jesus: “Every kingdom within divided, the house is broken down, and the house is broken down ”(Lk 11: 17b). In such a kingdom, the community has no future; its future is extinction.
The principle of internal division and extinction, in this case, applies to Satan’s empire; if it is divided on the inside, namely on the miracles of Jesus and the power of the devil, they could not exist; he would be paralyzed by double track. The gospel implies that power demons connected with Jesus are practically ineffective, as the case shows healing of the dumb. This power is not divided but is a unity that defies God. Jewish exorcists (literally “your sons” v. 19) cast out evil spirits by the power of God and not in collaboration with Beelzebub. Likewise, in Jesus’ expulsion of the wicked spirits, the power of God is manifested.1 This connecting element among Jewish exorcists and Jesus did not notice or want to notice Jesus. Jesus was “persona non grata, “and it was necessary to get rid of it. How? Let us accuse him of cooperating with Satan.
Except evil never completely obscures good. Goodwill always stands out. So did Jesus in the gospel. He could not be convicted of working with the devil, for he preached God’s kingdom! Today, kingdoms exist little. One could say that this is Jesus The “message” about an internally divided kingdom is no longer up to date. But let’s try to replace the word kingdom with the word heart. Then it would come out – Every human heart internally divided – triggers. In this wording, it is already very relevant because it is it’s about each of us. It’s about us and our relationship to God, to man, to the world, to life. Our hearts must be properly and perfectly cut, that means to love God, man, life… If it is to beat fully, our heart must be on the right side – on the side of life, on the side of love. God is also on this site by its law. It is enough for us to love others when we are to respect life, then God will dwell in our hearts. We have only two options:
to love or not to love; to say to God, “All right, I will listen to you,” or
“I won’t listen to you.” We can only choose one option. You can’t live like that is something I will listen to God, and in something, I will not love someone; I will love someone to hate and harm him! Every human heart internally divided triggers.
An encouraging example: Henryk Sienkiewicz, in the novel Quo Vadis, describes Christians’ heroism during the persecution of Emperor Nero. Everyone who was dying then was dying for Christ’s sake. Their hearts were fixed on God, and therefore they deserved eternal glory in heaven. Witness such torture was also the apostle Peter. He stood in the top row of the arena. Nobody noticed him. He got up, and he blessed the crosses of those who died under the fangs of animals and blessed their blood, their suffering, their dead bodies transformed into formless masses, and their souls flying away with the blood of soaked sand. Some sent glances at him, and when they noticed the sign of the cross high up, their faces brightened. The scene gripped Peter’s heart. He prayed, “Oh, Lord! Thy will be done, for mine, the sheep perish, that they may glorify thee and bear witness of the truth. You ordered me to graze them, I give them to you, and you count them. Lord, receive them, heal their wounds, soothe their pains and give them more happiness there than they experienced flour here. If we choose Christ with all our hearts, we have the same reward for it. God, he will receive us; he will heal our wounds, soothe our pains and give us more happiness there with him, how we experience flour here.
