"I come not to bring peace, but division..." Harsh words from Jesus (Luke 12:49-53), especially because he talks about division in our families.
Jesus knows the gap between the way the world should be and the way the world is. He grieves this. He also knows that he alone can bridge this gap, hence the fire and hence the passion.
As disciples of Jesus, we are blessed with passion, a holy fire to work towards a better world.
Yes as disciples, we must also learn this passion must be met with humility. For we ourselves have a gap between the people we should be and the people we are, a gap bridged by the cross of Christ.
