The Prince of Peace wants to set the world on fire? This Sunday's
Gospel can sound more intense than what we may be accustomed
to. It's a passage of contradictions. Jesus so clearly prays for
unity, yet here he speaks of division. Why would our God who
comes as an offering of love speak so frankly about causing rela-
tionships to be torn apart?
The sobering truth is that Jesus is divisive. We see this through-
out the Gospels, as the Pharisees critique him, the Romans con-
demn him, and not everyone in the crowd is enthusiastic about
his words. Jesus has not come for the purpose of dividing, but
what he does is so radical that it upends the status quo. And it
doesn't end with his preaching and miracles! "There is a baptism
with which I must be baptized." Jesus isn't talking about his bap-
tism at the Jordan River, which has already occurred, but the
passing through the waters of death on the Cross and rising again
to new life in the resurrection. This is divisive stuff! Christ's
spiritual fire turned the "fathers" - the Jewish people and Phari-
sees - against the "sons" - the common people. Not everyone
wants the Gospel Jesus is preaching. Not everyone wants to be
set on fire with the desire to love others. Some prefer to put on a
warm sweater and curl up in front of the TV.
In living and loving as Jesus did, we, too, might ruffle some
feathers. In disciplining our teenage child for sneaking out, we
may cause some division (temporarily, we hope!). In standing up
to gossip and the spread of cruel rumors in our workplace, we
might cause division. In emphasizing the dignity of both the des-
perate mother and the unborn child, we might cause division. Not
everyone wants the Gospel Jesus is preaching. Not everyone
wants the Gospel we are invited to live. But that's no excuse not
to live it.
Lord, give us the strength of conviction and also
the charity to be a light to the people in our lives
who don’t understand our faith. Give us the
words to share with them and the resolve to pray
for them and love them—just as you prayed for
those who persecuted you. In trust and love,
Lord, we place our needs before you.
