“Jesus said, “I came to cast fire upon the earth not peace, but division! …,” (Luke 12:49-53).
Jesus brought the fire of division. There will be division between people. We should not be shocked by the division that comes within communities, churches and between Christians and non-Christians.
Where human beings are division is inevitable. We cannot always run and hide from it. When conflict comes around, and be prepared for it when it does. Conflict can be good for us. Like fire purifies metals, conflict can purify us.
The whole world will divide into two sites, for and against Christ. People want peace and harmony. We want peace and harmony for our families, for our communities and for our world.
We are looking for love, peace, grace and mercy. We need to live moral lives and help the poor. We need to both announce the good news and be the good news to those in need.
We need to follow the guidance of God's Holy Spirit. Let’s the Holy Spirit build a fire inside us and inspire us to work with Christ to let the fire burn brightly.
