Luke 12:49, 51
I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! ...Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
Jesus' ministry is rarely characterized as a scorched earth policy, but here He plainly states it as one of His mission objectives. And it's not a mission He goes about reluctantly. He is not being strong-armed into this by the will of His overbearing Old Testament Father. This is the desire of the Son.
