The reconciliation that Jesus brings to our relationship with him and others is paradoxical in nature. Those who strive for the reconciliation that Jesus desires for us (a deep reconciliation that centers on God), they will find their inner selves and personal relationships initially and profoundly destabilized; often conflict ensues. However, as we let the gospel teach us the nature of true reconciliation, we will eventually find ourselves working toward a reconciliation with God and with others that is far more real, far more freeing, and far more healing than any reconciliation we could have mustered on our own. | Matthew 10:34-39
