Reflection on Luke 12 vs 49-53
Excerpts from sermon posted by St. Margaret’s Church Prestwich
Jesus said to his disciples: I have come to cast fire on the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already! It’s necessary here to focus on what Jesus did not mean by casting fire on earth. He very explicitly and deliberately rejected any use of violence or coercion in his mission. He did not form his followers into an army or lead them in war. A follower of Jesus could never be led to commit acts of terrorism, to murder the innocent, or to imagine that suicide might be rewarded with special favours in the Kingdom of Heaven. Someone ablaze with the fire of Christ will love, not attack his enemies. He will be endlessly patient, gentle, forgiving, compassionate. He will always tend to create around him peace, joy, hope, reconciliation, mercy, goodness.
The fire of Jesus burns, at least potentially, within each one of us. It’s our secret, of which the secular world has no understanding, or conception. The dominant reality of our lives is not what you see; not the unexciting routines by which we live, but the living presence of the three Persons of the Holy Trinity: infinite love; absolute goodness; divine life. Touched by this fire, each of us is – should be – set alight by its contagious holiness, made to shine with its glory, to become ever more truly what we already are: God’s own beloved children.
Our lives will give great glory to God. And our prayer of intercession will be a powerful force for good, for blessing, for salvation, in the world.
