Matthew 12:26-7 - If Satan casts out Satan, his kingdom is divided. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, that will be your judge.
Jesus takes the argument literally and shows the Pharisees and his hearers the illogic behind it. A house, kingdom, city, church, relationship divided against itself cannot stand. It takes communication to be united. Communication and vulnerability toward the other(s). Such hard things - risking that others may not like us or agree with us or worse abuse us for our opinions.
Yet necessary to be vulnerable in order to love fully. With God's help we can be open and vulnerable to more and more people and situations as we practice.
Amen
