Jesus tells us this week he came to bring division and cast fire upon the earth, but that runs counter to the gentle Savior we so often picture. That’s because we don’t rightly understand what Jesus means when he talks about fire. The fire Jesus means isn’t the destructive fire we might imagine… it's the fire of judgement, certainly, but it is also a fire that purifies us, that ignites our passions, that sparks positive change, and one that inspires us to make ourselves people and the world a better place. Isn’t that the type of fire we should all be willing to start?
