Jesus spoke with passion about his desire for the fulfillment of his mission, "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already burning!" (Lk 12: 19). He was weary of the excuses he found justifying inaction, indifference, division and even hostility, even though his own words sound violent; He set the stage for weeding out those less than passionate about living a life of love, compassion, forgiveness, hospitality and service. If it took fire to cleanse and purify, then let it be done, separating the pure metal from the dross.
As we look into our own history and hearts, do we find that fire or would we be those needing elimination, or at least a wake-up call?
